  6. (Me in early 2019): “The climate is changing due to human induced greenhouse gas emissions, and this means more bushfire danger days in what is already one of the most fire-prone countries in the world.” #BlackSaturday #ClimateCrisis theconversation.com/climate-chan...

  7. Up to 40% of bushfires in parts of Australia are deliberately lit. But we’re not doing enough to prevent them

    "There are many, complex reasons why people light fires. Commonly reported drivers include: relieving boredom or creating excitement, gaining positive recognition for putting out a fire (they want to be seen as a hero), as a cry for help, or because they’re angry."

    "There is almost no research in Australia or internationally into the effects of community awareness, and prevention campaigns or targeted strategies to prevent firesetting, including bushfire arson, in higher risk groups."

    "Failing to address deliberate firesetting will have significant long-term consequences for public health, human life and the environment."

    "As we enter another summer of high fire danger, our failure to fund arson research should be at the forefront of everyone’s minds."

  22. Enjoyable afternoon reading the latest #CLEX paper detailing the climatology of the Tinderbox Drought, which culminated in the 2019/20 #BlackSaturday bushfires.

    The paper is COMPREHENSIVE, and gives a good overview of the climate drivers affecting SE Aus (and their complexities). Key takeaway - the Tinderbox drought was an extreme natural event, exacerbated by climate change.

  27. CW: MutualAid, Hardship, Poverty, Disability

    Following my graduation and surviving #BlackSaturday bushfires I moved to Adelaide to undertake a Bachelor of Science in animal science, followed by a PhD in veterinary microbiology in QLD.

    Scholarships and sheer determination were my saving grace during these years, but the road was never easy.

    I encountered countless prejudices including a professor who claimed I “stole” an abled person’s position. Asked by instructors “How crippled are you” etc
