Image
Australia’s unprecedented bush fire season has prompted plenty of debate among lawmakers in the capital, Canberra, with inquiries set to begin on how to prevent a recurrence in the future as climate change continues to ramp up fire danger in the country. However, now it’s Canberra itself that the fires are targeting. A heat wave and high winds are combining to create extreme fire danger through Sunday, potentially enabling a bush fire burning on the outskirts of the city of 400,000 to make a run at heavily populated areas. That fire is burning in Namadgi National Park and was accidentally started by a military helicopter used for firefighting. According to Australian Capital Territory (ACT) Chief Minister Andrew Barr, officials expect the fire currently burning in the Orroral Valley to grow “significantly in size.” Read more:  https://www.washingtonpost.com/weather/2020/01/30/you-need-plan-heat-high-winds-may-intensify-bush-fires-advancing-toward-australias-capital/

Although the prime minister had to shout gas gas gas is GREAT (presumably to stop Matt Canavan moaning to the Courier Mail, or George Christensen threatening, then failing, to cross the floor because someone said renewable energy) Friday’s deal is two Coalition governments working together on a set of proposals that will, in time, deliver lower emissions in Australia.
