New South Wales police say a total of 183 people, including 40 juveniles, face criminal charges linked to the wildfires.
"Investigations into the cause, origin and overall impact of fires are continuing and since the latest State of Emergency was declared...Strike Force Tronto has provided expertise to six police area commands and eight police districts," NSW police said in a statement.
Australian National University climate scientist Imran Ahmed told the BBC there was a direct link"because what climate change does is exacerbate the conditions in which the bushfires happen.""It's not every weather event that is the direct result of climate change. But when you see trends…it becomes undeniably linked to global climate change."
"The dangerous fire weather conditions during spring 2019 is consistent with the increasingly severe fire weather seen in many areas of the country, owing to increasing temperatures and reduced cool season rainfall," the report said. "This kind of activity is dangerous and stupid…and the real issue is the severity of the risk when the environment is so dry and windy, and conducive to fires spreading extraordinarily quickly," he said.
