How do they do the burns when climate change means the available window for doing burns is shrinking? The droughts are getting worse and the temperature extremes are worse. They weren't far of 50C at Penrith on Saturday. The Black Saturday fires saw people who had done all the possible clearing done burnt alive in their homes because the grass fires were enough to kill.
The scientists were telling us this would be an extreme summer for fires, the emergency services were telling us the same message and Scotty just sat there with his fingers in his ears saying "La, la, la, I can't hear you".
