More about drough, fire and floods

I've just read an interesting opinion piece about our understanding, or more correctly lack of understanding, of the effects of fire and floods. The author is a prof here who specialises in fluvial geomorphology, mostly of desert rivers (eg Cooper Creek and Lake Eyre), and you will see that he is pushing a barrow. However I feel that his points are valid and that our understanding of, let alone preparation for, our variable climate is hopelessly inadequate.
