Australian Wildfires

Moving some posts re the Australian wildfires to a separate topic Luciano Bacco‍ 

Luciano Bacco:


Climate Crisis. The reason Australia is red. Australian wildfires have cloaked the country in a demonic red glow. As the new decade begins underneath a blood-red sky, the need for solutions is even more pressing.

    The fact that no studies to link the fire to anything at all were already there while they were burning is not that surprising.

    I agree it is misleading to hijack a single event and then to say ' aha - see climate change caused all this'  but that is mainly the tabloids and similar media. Responsible publications should be more measured in what they claim. However, it may be fair to say that Australia has always been dry, and seems to be getting drier, and it may well be that the climate is changing.

    If corona virus really slows activity, we may get a free experiment in emissions reduction as a side effect, much as the September 11th 2001 attacks altered flight patterns enough to be probably seen in ground temperature data paper here
