Look it up David - Byram's Fire intensity Equation. The gold standard and undisputed for 70+ years.
Fuel load is the one thing we can control and we don't - whether that's a function of funding, green policy or bureaucratic ineptitude or a combo i don't know.
The 2010 RC into the 2009 fires received multiple recommendations that 8% be burnt annually on a rolling basis to maintain low load The RC finally settled on 5%.
Both Victorian and NSW State Governments burn about 2% a year. Both Premiers should be sacked as far as I am concerned.
There's your problem right there. Noting drought doesn't help. Yet our greatest drought - the Federation Drought that went from 1891 to 1903 was well before the mania of carbon dioxide reared its ugly head.
And agree, the 1939 fires dwarfed the current (Victorian fires) every which way - area, property and human life loss.
To attribute this to 'climate change' is facile. Extremely facile and not supported by any verifiable data globally.
