Extreme heatwave coming up in Australia, with temperatures (way) above 40⁰C in the area suffering from bushfires for weeks in a row now. Still early summer there.
Australia: 724 homes, 49 facilities and 1582 outbuildings have been destroyed [in NSW] so far this fire season.
Six people have died and 2.7 million hectares have already been scorched; that's 27,000 km2, 2/3 of the total area of the Netherlands!
smh.com.au/national/nsw/n…
It's extremely hot in western Australia too, and bushfires are raging there as well.
Australia's new heatwave already started to build up on Sunday: brown = >42⁰C (108F), darkbrown spot = >45⁰C (113F). Image

Australia's new heatwave spreading on Monday: brown = >42⁰C (108F), darkbrown spots = >45⁰C (113F). Image
In "worst possible circumstances", NSW's largest bushfire now getting close to coal mine too.
From an Australian firefighter:
"NSW fires: Scott Morrison should come to Gospers Mountain to see what the RFS are up against." smh.com.au/national/come-…
"The fires we are battling today started earlier, burn more intensely, have destroyed more homes and covered more ground than anything we’ve seen before in NSW. Fact, not opinion. Seasoned firefighters have felt overwhelmed by what they’ve seen."
"The existing record for the highest maximum temperature averaged over Australia for a day is 40.3⁰C, set in January 2013.
Current indications are that we'll be at least a degree above that on Wednesday and Thursday, so a really extreme event." @BOM_au

Here's the official weather forecast for Port Augusta, on Australia's South coast, 300 km from Adelaide. Image
In Penrith, on the western outskirts of Sydney, close to the bushfires, temperatures are expected to peak at 44⁰C on Thursday and 45⁰C on Saturday. Image

"Extreme" fire danger in Greater Sydney (4.8 million people) today. This means the fire service advises residents that leaving early is the safest option for survival. Unlikely to happen, I guess, but shows what's at stake.

Smoke from the bushfires can be seen over Sydney again (it's not all from that cruiseship).
Live here: webcamsydney.com Image
On Wednesday, Australia's heatwave reached incredible proportions: most of this vast country reached above 42⁰C (108F), with vast areas even above 45⁰C (113F)! Image
Unbelievable heat: Australia's average high temperature yesterday was 41.9⁰C, a full 1⁰C above the previous all-time high of the day before, and 1.6⁰C above the "old" record, set in 2013!
For an idea of the disastrous effect this record heat has on the bushfires, have a look at @NSWRFS. Image
At 4:54 PM, Nullarbor in South Australia recorded a temperature of 49.9⁰C! If I'm not mistaken, that's the highest December temperature ever seen in Australia.

@quiet_101 Massive bushfire activity continues in Australia's state of NSW, fanned again by the current heatwave.
@quiet_101 Australia's Prime Minister @ScottMorrisonMP, who left for a foreign holiday in the middle of his country's bushfire crisis, has now concluded it wasn't such a good idea after all:

@quiet_101 @ScottMorrisonMP Another extremely hot day forecast for Penrith, West-Sydney, close to the worst bushfires: On Saturday, temperature is now expected to hit 47°C there; that's 117F. Image
On Thursday, day 5 of Australia's terrible heatwave, high temperatures exceeded 45⁰C (113F) in a massive area, probably over 1/4 of the entire country. Image
Saturday will be very bad again for NSW:
Bureau of Meteorology data suggests Australia's national average maximum temperature reached 41.0⁰C (106F) on Thursday, after hitting 41.9⁰C on Wednesday and 40.7⁰C on Tuesday: all 3 much hotter than Australia's previous hottest day ever (January 2013).
abc.net.au/news/2019-12-2…
Extremely hot Saturday in NSW:
On Friday, day 6 of Australia's historic heatwave, the enormous blob with temperatures over 45⁰C (113F) moved East, towards Adelaide, Canberra, and Sydney. Image
After 21 December 1972 became Australia’s hottest day ever with an average high temperature of 40.17°C, it took 40 years to take that record to 40.30°C, in January 2013.
Then it remained there for 7 years.
Then it leaped to 40.7°C last Tuesday, and crashed to 41.9°C the day after. Thursday (41.0°C) made these 3 days the 3 hottest in the Australian record. By a mile.
The countrywide heatwave in Australia is finally subsiding, but in the center of the country, the extreme heat isn’t over yet. This forecast for Alice Springs (pop. 26,000, average high temperature in December 35°C).

Australia’s previous Prime Minister is pretty clear on the link between CO2 emissions and the bushfire crisis:
And so is climate scientist @MichaeEMann on the link between global warming and Australia’s current extreme heat wave:
Good map of the bushfire situation around Sydney. For scale: Sydney-Penrith = 55 km, so these two fires span ~150 km, from North to South.

"The prime minister acknowledged that climate change was having an impact on weather events, but indicated there would be no change to government policy, including Australia’s controversial policy of using carryover credits for meeting targets in the #ParisAgreement."
Most of the firefighters in NSW, Australia, are volunteers.
The black country: 27,000 km² already burnt in NSW's bushfires. That's 2/3 of the area of the Netherlands.
Australia’s former Deputy Prime Minister Barnaby Joyce has just suggested Australians are "fools" who will "get nailed" unless they respect God's plan for climate change.

Australia's heatwave continues. This from the center of the country, at 545 m altitude:
All of that red-brown area was over 45⁰C (113F) yesterday!
In the past, after an extreme heatwave, people could think 'That was bad, fortunately we'll never see anything like it again' ('once in a thousand years'). Not anymore now, as long as we keep emitting large amounts of greenhouse gases.

On the role of Australia's Murdoch media:
On top of pushing Australia's governments into decisive climate action, it would be great if this massive bushfire crisis served as a wakeup call for other governments around the world too. There's no particular need to wait for a climate disaster to happen in your own country.
At the same time, in Sydney: the show must go on, despite extreme fire risk and air pollution from deadly bushfires all around the city.

Three weeks into the almost continuous heatwave in Australia (and into this thread), a very bad day in its ongoing bushfire climate disaster again. Some updates from this very hot Saturday will follow; hoping for cooler weather after this!
First of all: It was extremely hot today. The Sydney area saw its highest temperatures ever recorded. Penrith, in the West of the area, even hit 48.9°C (120F)! That’s 1.6°C above its previous all-time high, dating from 12 months ago.
Many other places hit 47°C or more. Image
Australia’s capital Canberra experienced its hottest temperature on record as well: 44°C, that’s almost 2°C hotter than ever before! canberratimes.com.au/story/6566060/…
All this heat, plus wind picking up now, fanned NSW’s many bushfires. The red diamonds on the map are all the fires currently at emergency level.
Australia’s federal government brought in (long-awaited) additional resources to fight the fires. And the Prime Minister already had a marketing video ready to advertise it.
And here’s some data. High temperatures are clearly caused by climate change (all the red dots for the 2010s are on the right hand side). For precipitation it’s less clear (the spread seems to grow). High temperatures do dry out everything though.
Big bushfires are raging in other parts of Australia too. This from Kangaroo Island, 4,400 km2 of nature close to Adelaide, South-Australia. Half of the island already burnt and fire still moving on.
An overview of the active bushfires in SE-Australia, provided by European satellites:
In September, the mayor of Kangaroo Island, now burning in the bushfire climate disaster, described the youth #ClimateStrike there as a ‘total green left con job’: theislanderonline.com.au/story/6397561/…

Australia's PM Morrison in damage-control move: "We always said there was a link between climate change and the bushfire crisis". Thread:
This Sunday, cooler weather finally provided some relief in NSW. 146 bushfires still burning though.
On a personal note, 34 years of working on emission reduction, 10 years of stressing the urgency here, and 3 weeks of reporting on the (predicted) Australian bushfire crisis make me:
- sad, about the damage to lives, wildlife, nature, and climate itself, ..
- determined to find more effective ways of doing something about it, and
- angry at the lack of leadership in addressing the climate crisis, and even efforts to derail climate action.

What about you?
The heavy bushfire smoke in Australia’s capital Canberra provides a fitting backdrop for TV reporting on the Federal government’s response to this climate disaster. Image
Forgot to mention: livestock.
The koala is @swoldhek’s ‘person of the week’. “For not understanding that fires are normal, and if not, absolutely not caused by humans, and we can’t do anything about ‘m anyway, so we won’t spend our money on this climate hysteria” (sarcasm, to be sure)

@AntonDingeman @dobbelska Big factor in the current bushfire crisis in Australia: very little rain in December. Brown = 0-20% of normal, dark orange = 20-40% of normal. Image
@AntonDingeman @dobbelska @BOM_au In fact, very little rain in 2019 as a whole too: Image
@AntonDingeman @dobbelska @BOM_au And on top of that: extreme heat in December (and a hot year 2019 too). Over half of the country had daily highs ranging from 4-5 (light red) to over 6°C (brown) above normal (1961-1990) for the month. Image

@dr_nerilie So far, at least 1,000,000,000 animals died in this summer's Australian bushfire disaster.
And of course there are forces fighting this clarity:
Important observation on hazard reduction burning to prevent bushfires, by the NSW fire chief: "As the fire season keeps getting longer, the window of opportunity for that is shrinking."
40,000 km2 (the total area of the Netherlands) already lost to the bushfires in SE-Australia alone, and they're still raging on.
In the first week of this year, another 771 homes were lost in the NSW bushfires, bringing the total for the season to almost 1,700:
Counting the homes lost in the NSW bushfires: numbers still going up. 954 homes now, just in the first week of January.
Correct answer would've been: Yes.
Bushfire crisis not over yet:
'Mega-fire' (6,000 km²!) forms after multiple blazes merge in SE-Australia.

240,000 people in Victoria urged to evacuate as scorching temperatures and erratic winds worsen bushfires. watchers.news/2020/01/10/240…
This thread has now been running for 4 weeks. Let's hope for some breathing space for Australians, to get the current bushfire crisis under control. And then: emission reduction, emission reduction, emission reduction. Climate leadership urgently needed, not just in Australia!

NL's PBL agency made a fresh forecast of national GHG emissions in 2020, and found they'll probably be only 20-21% lower than in 1990.
In its 2015 @urgenda verdict, later upheld in govt's appeal case, the court ruled that this should be at least 25%.
nrc.nl/nieuws/2019/12…
@urgenda This means there's a gap of 8-10 million tonnes of CO₂eq to be closed next year. That's a lot, since the clock will start ticking 14 days from now. But govt was warned many times, and has already had 4.5 years to take measures.
@urgenda Kicking the can down the road led to NL's current "nitrogen (deposition) crisis".
Sudden drastic CO₂ emission reductions could trigger a similar uproar. Not complying would lead to a rule-of-law crisis.
Not the way to take society along, in the middle of a climate crisis.
