FIRESTORM RAGE REMISSION

The colloquial term we call bush, encompasses grasslands, scrub, saplings and dense forests. Most of the bush is located on the seaboard of our continent. So what’s the Firestorm Rage Remission in Australia all about.

Easily seen from this satellite image, it’s the green parts that have been the problem these last few months, rather than the arid centre.

Australia’s bushfires generally encompassed the lower coastal areas of our continent

We’ve had a few years of increasingly hotter summers and even hot springs. (No, not that type of Spring, the season of Spring) Australians are arguably used to fires in Summer (December to March) but not with the ferocity we’ve experienced in late 2019 and so far in 2020.

Just this last week, we’ve had relief in the form of summer rains — and rains are something we’ve been waiting for since about July 2019. It’s been the driest year (2019) on record according to some and it ‘must be about climate change’.

Is climate change real? It appears to be, but the activists and scientists can’t really come up with an equitable solution. And not only the activists such as Extinction Rebellion and the very vocal teenager Greta Thunberg can tell us what to do other than “You’re Killing the Plant”. “Stop Killing Us!”

As a nation, Australia is directly responsible for 1.3% of the world’s carbon emissions. 1.3%! Nations such as China (30%), India (7%), The United States (15%) Russian Federation (7%) Japan (4%) and the 25 countries of the European Union (9%) contribute (72)% of emissions. In the case of India and China, as ‘developing nations’, they’re allowed to maintain higher levels.

As things go, the houses and properties that have been devastated in these fires can be replaced. While insurance companies aren’t that…
