Australia's Prime Minister says it's not credible to link climate change to the bushfires raging across large parts of the country.
Scott Morrison says several other factors are to blame, despite a recent record-breaking heatwave.

Australia is one of the world’s largest carbon emitters per capita because of its reliance on coal-fired power plants.
Earlier this month, the country drew criticism at a UN summit in Madrid for its climate-change policy of using old carbon credits to count towards future emissions targets.
