Australians evacuate as soaring temperature, winds threaten to fan fires

Forgot to add the year this prediction was for...2020........its December 2019...pretty accurate.

IPCC report of 2014 devoted a chapter to Australia and New Zealand.

On Australia, it predicted an up to 30% increase in the number of days that would be declared "Extreme Fire Danger ".

Ignored of course.

The embers are flying 12 km or more in the winds, apparently.

How about creating firewalls to prevent fires spreading or is that not in the budget?

This is a real disaster with fire experts saying there is no chance of putting out the biggest fires {there are hundreds } without good rainfall, not expected until January/February.

So where is our evangelical Prime Minimal Scott Morrison ?

In Canberra, finalizing legislation about how Christian schools can exclude people from employment and other urgent "faith based " issues so important to a secular nation in the 21st Century.

Pray for rain....and thanks to the Yanks who have arrived in Sydney to help the firefighting efforts

As a Californian, I can empathize with our Australian cousins. Let's hope humidity rises and rain comes.
