Australia Fires Caused By Global Warming

Global warming is a key factor - but not the only one.

Australia fires caused by global warming. The race to decipher how climate change influenced Australias record fires. Global warming stresses ecosystems through temperature rises water shortages increased fire threats drought weed and pest invasions intense storm damage and salt invasion just to name a few. Climate change is increasing bushfire risk in Australia by lengthening the fire.

Human-caused climate change made southeastern Australias devastating wildfires during 20192020 at least 30 percent more likely to occur researchers report in. As climate scientist Kevin Trenberth explained in a recent interview with videographer Peter Sinclair global warming directly intensifies wildfires by drying out soil and vegetation creating more fuel to burn farther and faster. Australian wildfires were caused by humans not climate change.

The recent bushfires in Australia were exacerbated not only by global warming but also by other factors. The Insurance Council of Australia said on January 7 that the bushfires have caused at least US485 million 435 million in damage and that number was likely to rise. Alarmists have been quick to blame climate change for the recent horrific fires in Australia.

At its height from 1963 to around 1985 very little was burned by wildfires but as more and more pressure mounted to suppress this practice more and more of Western Australia was burned over as shown dramatically in this. Fires can be caused by lightning strikes during Australian summers or by man-made factors such as overhead power lines and arson. Some of Australias great natural icons such as the Great Barrier Reef.

Yes there is a link between climate change and the prevalence and severity of fires. Human-caused climate change is worsening the wildfires scorching Australia experts say. Despite the political smokescreen scientists are in no doubt that global heating has contributed to Australias fire emergency Smoke from Australias unprecedented bushfires as.

Global warming boosted the risk of the hot dry weather thats likely to cause bushfires by at least 30 they say. The burning of coal oil and gas is driving up global temperatures leading to hotter Australian conditions. Climate change is driving worsening bushfires in Australia.
