I know this article is mostly touching on the kelp forests and the Tasman sea warming, but the current fires in Australia are unprecedented and seriously frightening. We're at the point where it's uncertain that the usually accepted belief that fires like this are carbon neutral will hold. Areas that haven't burnt in living memory have been destroyed, and areas that would usually regrow have been decimated to the point that experts are worried that they may not recover.
This is something new for Australia, and Australia has one of the longest records of living memory when it comes to fires.

This, after all, is what Australians have voted for; who are we to defy democracy? https://www.insurancejournal.com/news/international/2019/11/01/547243.htm https://www.insurancejournal.com/news/international/2019/11/...
