These are no longer just bushfires. They are firestorms.

If Australia is the "canary in the coal mine" for climate change, this doesn't bode well for any of us.

If this true then the Aborigines will more likely survive because they were the first humans in Australia and can survive in the Outback with very little resources. It is the invaders that will be unable to survive.
The same is true for most major cities around the world. The more rural people or country folk will be more prepare to survive any mass extinction event especially when technology is limited or non existent.

They are still very liveable, just because the major cities have had a few days of smoke from the bush fires doesn't mean kids cant play out side, those with lung conditions have to be wary but that's something they have to do everyday for such things high pollen days and dust storms.
Depends on the data used, the heat waves of the late 1800's seem to have been forgotten as the hysteria of Climate Change gets pushed.
Not at all, successive state governments have refused to follow the results of one inquiry after another, that amounts to at least five percent of regular burn offs to reduce the fuel loads in these forests are needed annually.
Despite how spectacular this 2019/20 bushfire seems so far only around 8.4 million hectares have been burnt even if goes to 10-15 million hectares in 1974/75 bushfire season there was 117 million hectares of land burnt.

Go back to common sense forest management practices and Australia can return to the modern world.
