There is a surprising unwillingness to accept the simple data This guy is right that 49 million hectares didn't burn in 2012 Actually, 87 million hectares burnt through the whole year — 11.3% of Australia's land area https://gwis.jrc.ec.europa.eu/static/gwis.statistics.portal/countries-estimates/OC/AU … https://twitter.com/givethineear/status/1218226649973477377 …pic.twitter.com/bmMj0lEQWo
Here is another data point from 2002-3 from the National Inquiry on Bushfire Mitigation and Management, showing that bushfires routinely burn 3-10% of the Australian area each year (p5) https://www.dfes.wa.gov.au/publications/GeneralReports/FESA_Report-NationalInquiryonBushfireMitigationandManagement.pdf …pic.twitter.com/vA4RxMa0Hc
This data is hard to reconcile Living in Sydney - our smoke haze has totally dwarfed anything I recall in last 30 years Ever present for ~ 2 months Don’t remember it happening for more than 1-2 weeks in recent years
Due not to an increase in fires, but the location of the fires?
Most of our forests are pyroseral vegetation dominated by eucalypt species that evolved under conditions of regular burning, and need periodic fires to regenerate.
It is very well established that fire is no small part of our landscape’s lifecycle- many plant species require fire for germination. This simplistic debate about fire good/ fire bad is stupidity... the key is fire intensity Kw/m2- overwhelmingly a function of fuel T/Ha. /1
That most Australian’s don’t understand fire’s well researched relationships is because the vast majority live in metropolitan centres where this is not part of their reality/ experience. Unprecedented smoke haze in cities doesn’t necessarily mean unprecedented fires. /2
Facts are so annoying.
When wild fires are out in the wild it’s a non event. When wild fires destroy homes in cities... it’s climate change.
And the reason they are close to and burning down homes & towns is because of people... https://www.abc.net.au/news/science/2019-11-20/bushfire-ignition-source-how-we-know/11701132 …
