Australia and it's approach to climate change is rather depressing. There have plenty of signs indicating the country is facing serious climate change issues. But despite these warnings, we as a nation have had decades with little or no action. However, if the current Spring is any indication this Summer might be a turning point. The record Spring temperatures suggest we might be in for a record breaking hot Summer. Not only will that mean a worsening of the current drought conditions, but it also greatly increases the risk of serious bush fires (i.e wild fires). As recent Australian history has shown, when it gets hot and windy those are the perfect conditions for uncontrollably, raging bush fires.
