In Australia we now regularly deal with considerably increased risk and incidence of bushfires compared to even 50 years ago, all of it due to human activities relating to climate change.
- missedthecue 5y agoThe total area burned annually in Australia is down massively over the past century and the trend is decreasing. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Ev4P6DIWQAUXTKh?format=jpg&name=medium https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Ev4P6DIWQAUXTKh?format=jpg&name=... A fantastic example of my point is in the animal deaths that occured on account of the fires in Australia. It received a stunning amount of media coverage. Yet the total number of animals killed by the fires was much lower than in previous years. To the casual uninformed reader (99% of them) this would seem like some extraordinary and unprecedented event. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EwMh7dSXYAIeM7p?format=jpg&name=medium https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EwMh7dSXYAIeM7p?format=jpg&name=... https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EwMSJh8WUAAdLHF?format=jpg&name=large https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EwMSJh8WUAAdLHF?format=jpg&name=...
- techdragon 5y agoThe total burn area is affected by how effective we have gotten at fighting and managing the fire risks. The number of actual fires that start is the relevant metric here.
