Agreed. The bottom line is that we live on a dry continent that catches fire regularly. The more we prod climate change in the direction of higher temperatures and lower rainfall, the more likely it is we will have extreme fire conditions. What do most people do when we are experiencing extreme fire conditions? Why, stay inside with the air-conditioner on. And where does the electricity come from? Why, from burning brown coal. And what does burning brown coal do? It prods climate change in the direction of higher temperature...
