The force that through the green fuse drives the flower / Drives my green age; that blasts the roots of trees / Is my destroyer. / And I am dumb to tell the crooked rose / My youth is bent by the same wintry fever¡¦.by Dylan Thomas

What has the government said on climate change?
When the crisis escalated in New South Wales (NSW) last month, Mr Morrison refused to be drawn on questions about climate change - saying his "only thoughts" were with people affected by the fires.
Deputy PM Michael McCormack rejected such questions as the concerns of "raving inner-city lefties", adding: "We've had fires in Australia since time began."
More recently, Mr Morrison has acknowledged climate change as one of "many other factors" in fuelling the bushfires.

What is being said in the debate?
Day two of the judiciary committee's marathon session saw Jim Jordan, an Ohio Republican, try to have the first impeachment charge against Mr Trump deleted.
But his amendment was rejected after hours of debate on a 23-17 party-line vote.
"This notion of abuse of power is the lowest of low-energy impeachment theories," said Matt Gaetz, a Florida Republican, whose own proposed amendment was also defeated.
But Democrats rebuked Republicans for their loyalty to Mr Trump.

'Nobody was mixing up the blondes'
"My year was one of the largest groups of women of colour competing in Miss America," Ms Taveras said. "When you consider the history, just to be in that position is amazing."
But that led to it's own challenges. Ms Taveras said people would often mix up the contestants who were black.
