A war of words has broken out about the link between climate change and the unprecedented bushfire emergency that has hit NSW and Queensland.


Deputy Prime Minister Michael McCormack has lashed out at Greens MP Adam Bandt over "stupid and callous" comments linking the government's inaction on climate change and bushfires that have claimed three lives in New South Wales.

On Saturday, Mr Bandt tweeted that "words and concern are not enough ... the Prime Minister does not have the climate emergency under control".
