An estimated 25 people and ONE BILLION animals have been killed in the bushfires since September, but intense heat in recent days has escalated the fires.

Burning since September, officials expect the fires could continue for months.
24 Australians have been arrested for arson, but experts agree the main cause of the bushfires is climate change.
“This year, Australia experienced its hottest day and driest spring on record.”

Though many factors contribute to wildfires, the reason the Australian wildfires are so much worse this year than other recent years is the combination of record drought and record heat. #AustraliaFires

Similar history of the changes in temperature and precipitation since 1910, but this time for just the state of New South Wales, Australia.
New South Wales has had two scorching hot and dry years which has now made it the focus of unprecedented wildfires. #NSWfires

Visiting family in Adelaide over Christmas where some of Australia's hottest temps have been felt. Conditions prime for huge fires in #Adelaide Hills leaving visible burn marks present on imagery. @sentinel_hub timelapse of 18 & 21 Dec (apps.sentinel-hub.com/sentinel-playg…) #AustralianFires
Areas around #Lobethal in #Adelaide Hills severely burnt by fires, including many homes, farmland & some of the wineries in area. I filmed this near Woodside yesterday. Strong community support & very resilient people emerging out of this terrible event. #AustralianFires
#AustralianFires showing blaze near #Nerriga on satellite imagery. Image from 21 Dec shot with Sentinel-2 sat, layering @Pierre_Markuse fire script on @sentinel_hub, shows large blaze & smoke plume (250+km2) over #Milton south of #Sydney (goo.gl/maps/s7erubPEU…). #NSWfires

#NSWfires A lot of talk about paying volunteers, but no one's asked us. I'm not keen on the idea & the few times it's come up in convo it's usually "yeah, nahh", though with current fires for months on end may need review. Here's some general ideas to increase vol numbers.
/1
/1
Review "character test", currently harder to get into RFS than for police, for RFS police record has to be clean (even juvenile). suggest for minor non custodial non violence (or fire) related, say 5 year wait, minor custodials (to 6 months) then 10 year expiry.

RFS volunteering to count towards "mutual obligation" activity & jobseekers to be given a break on obligation to apply for jobs during large fire events.

Comparing several weeks of daily total emissions from #NSWbushfires↙️ against those from all #Australia #bushfires↘️ shows how unusual & devastating they have been for the state based on #CopernicusAtmosphere Monitoring Service GFAS data confluence.ecmwf.int/display/CKB/CA… #NSWfires
@CopernicusECMWF @ECMWF @CopernicusEU @CopernicusEMS @CopernicusLand @WMO @BOM_au @bnhcrc @BushfireHub @NSWRFS Total estimated #bushfire emissions from #NewSouthWales between 1 Jan & 10 Dec 2019 have been clearly the highest in 17 years of GFAS data going back to 2003 while Australia total is fairly average #NSWfires #NSWbushfires #nswisburning
