Heatwaves kill more Australians than floods, fires and cyclones combined.
If we named them, we could treat them as the public health emergencies they are.
Should we name them after the fossil fuel companies that contribute to them?

For those in Melbourne today, don't be fooled by the mild morning. The super-hot air is sitting like a giant bubble right above us, waiting for the sun to come up and start mixing all that cooler air at the surface with the air above. When it does, it's going to get hot, fast. Stay cool, stay safe.

It really is fucking unbelievable how big the evacuation zone is for the Otways fire is.
For those not familiar with Victoria, the map below shows about a third (...?) of the Western Vic's whole coastline. The "evacuate immediately" region in the middle is about 60km x 40km. 😟
