Last year was the hottest and dryest on record for Australia and this year will probably exceed that again. As a volunteer firefighter we have already been told to expect more extreme days (total fire bans) and also of longer durations. In most of NSW the bush fire season has already been declared as of Sept 1st
I think that we really have to start pouring more money into alternative energy such as solar and wind, the results will not be seen this century but we can make a start for the next century. The governments of today and tomorrow have to pull the heads out of the sand and stop thinking as far as the next election.
cheers
