Climate change linked to increased severity of bush fires in Australia
"An assessment of the impact of climate change on the nature and frequency of exceptional climatic events" prepared by the CSIRO and Bureau of Meteorology warns of the increased risk of bush fires due to higher levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
Not just Australia, but we are unique
"Here in Australia fires are probably the thing that needs to be very high on our priorities list when we are concerned about possible effects of climate change. We are just facing a very dangerous decade or decades as our ecosystem recalibrates to the new climatic conditions." said Professor Mark Adams, dean of the faculty of agriculture at the University of Sydney, program leader at the Bushfire Co-operative Research Centre and principal author.
Reduce carbon
Commenting on the matter Greens leader Senator Bob Brown said "That means that if we are looking to minimising these tragedies in the future we very much have to turn around this catastrophic potential of climate change and take action now in our own time."
Professor Adams also said higher levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere had increased the risk of bush fires and added to the likelihood that their intensity would also increase.
