While the changing climate is certainly a factor, the reality is that over 40% of these fires were lit by arsonists unfortunately. There are other factors involved too such as the fact that some of the bushfires are now generating their own micro-climate which is generating lightning and starting more bushfires.

Another major factor is that much of the land has been locked up, fire trails have overgrown and the land has not been managed properly, so there is over a decade of fuel on the ground, increasing the heat in the fires.

I'm not at all saying the climate has had no influence, it obviously has, but it isn't a major factor in these fires from what I understand the experts seem to be saying.
