Isn’t it funny that in Australia when a terrible crime occurs we can quickly talk about doing at least something about one of its causes - guns.
But when man-made climate change causes another extreme weather disaster, it’s not the time to talk about doing something about it

These incredible old alpine ash can be found on Mt Stirling in Victoria’s high country. They survived logging, & fires in the early 2000s.
Now that logging has stopped, the main threat is from fires which are being super charged by climate change.
