The National Science Institute says that the weather is ‘extremely extreme’ with firefighting, and that fires are prolonged and affecting many areas.
A new study by CSIRO, an Australian scientific watchdog, found that climate change has contributed to the dramatic increase in rain forests over the past 30 years.
This study, published in Nature Communications, Integrated analysis of wildfire sites in the old forests and eight drivers of fire events including weather, fuel collection, lighting and fire control (mentioned burning).
It found that temperatures were intensifying and that flames were widespread not only in the jungles of the southern island of Tasmania but also in the tropical rain forests of Queensland in the northeast of the country.
CSIRO scientist Pep Canadell said the study was important to understand how climate change affects future fire services in a country that has been on fire.
“While the eight firefighters did a variety of work to start a wildfire, the weather was a very exciting firefighting event,” Canadell said in a statement.
“These results also suggest that the increase in forest fires should continue with climate change.”
Over the past 90 years, three-quarters of the year 2000, CSIRO said. The year of the fire is defined as the area burned by the forest for more than one year of more than 1 million hectares (2.47 million acres).
Fires in the southern part of the summer of 2019 and 2020 passed through 11.5 million hectares (28.4 million acres) of tropical rainforests and rainforests in southeastern Australia, creating an apocalyptic orange atmosphere and compulsion. incarcerated people to be transported by boat.
More than 30 people were killed and thousands of homes destroyed, while scientists estimate that some three billion animals were destroyed. killed or deported.
The National Meteorological Agency warned last year that Australia’s climate was expected to be warm and dry, and that emissions were a major cause of global warming.

[CSIRO]A report by the Bureau of Meteorology (BoM) State of the Climate states that the Australian climate prevailed burned on average it is 1.44C (2.6F) since world history began in 1910, when the country is experiencing the hottest year recorded in 2019. Seven years from 2013 to 2019 were all between the hottest nine years, said BoM .
CSIRO scientists have identified the amount of fire driven by climate change versus climate change based on their research on 32 years of satellite data and 90 years of data based on weather and climate, based on the amount of oil in Australian forests.
The World Health Organization (WHO) says that there has been a rapid increase in temperatures, as rainfall decreased in the southern and eastern parts of the continent.
Comparing the first half (1988-2001) with the second half (2002-2018) of the study history, this study showed that on average each year Australia’s rain forest increased by 350 percent, and 800 percent by 2019.
At the same time, the study showed a five-fold increase in mid-summer temperatures in the southern hemisphere and a threefold increase in autumn, spring and summer observed a tenfold increase.
“In Australia, wildfires have increased significantly in some areas and are now in the southeastern and southern regions with a shorter duration of 20 years. This is important because it means that some plant species do not mature and this can endangering the environment, ”Canadell said.
“Understanding this helps to inform emergency management, health, infrastructure, environmental management and conservation.”
