This video taken in Dec 2019 shows how thick smoke was over the Hawkesbury in the 2019-20 disaster - but it can't convey the smell, or how difficult it was to get a breath of clean air...

As we wake up to a smokey morning as prepares for another season, I'm remembering the 2019-20 , when the smoke was as thick as soup.

What is on my mind? Like a lot of people in Australia I'm thinking about the coming season. It looks like it's going to be a BAD one. And we've seen the newscasts from Canada and Greece. With higher temps on the way...

Interesting to read these posts from ppl on Reddit who have lived through previous disasters.

ABC News - 'Unprecedented' Canadian wildfires made worse by climate change, scientists find

Deforestation, climate disruption and bushfires

'Unprecedented' Canadian wildfires made worse by climate change, scientists find
"It's going to get worse."

Australia is also likely to see 'more frequent and more severe extreme weather events' due to global warming. Scientists warn severe weather will get worse. During the Black Summer fires, Australia saw roughly the same number of fire-induced thunderstorms, known as pyrocumulonimbus, as seen in the country over several decades".
"One of the worst impacts of fires like those in Canada and during the Black Summer in Australia was the widespread impact on air quality. It's hard to adapt to — if the air we breathe isn't safe to breathe."

Deforestation and climate change
climatecouncil.org.au/deforest

What is the scale of deforestation and its role in climate change?
"Land use change, principally deforestation, contributes 12–20% of global greenhouse gas emissions."

We live in a highly bushfire-prone area in Australia. These are our annual house insurance premiums in the past six years:
2018 - $2645
2019 - $2745
2020 - $3124
2021 - $3396
2022 - $4069
2023 - $5582
If becomes unaffordable unless you live in a low-risk area, a significant percentage of Australians will be unable to insure their homes because of , , risk.
So what does that mean in a future where these events are more likely and more severe?
If the insurance industry decides a significant percentage of Australians are uninsurable, and that same percentage are highly like to experience extreme weather events, whose responsibility is to to support those individuals when the inevitable happens?
Sure, we could argue that people shouldn't live in fire/flood prone areas, but when those areas include entire towns eg Lismore, or suburbs of major cities eg Canberra, that argument doesn't work. We can't all live in CBD high-rises. So where are we going to live in a future?
I don't have answers here. I'm assuming that our home will burn in my lifetime. I'm privileged that - for the moment - we can afford these premiums. But this price rises are going to create an uninsured underclass, who will be already disadvantaged economically, and who will bear the brunt of climate-change impacts.

My third Nerd Scribe substack post is a dissection of a news story I wrote about the ongoing drama of who actually owns the New South Wales Rural Fire Service's enormous fleet of fire-fighting vehicles, which I covered for The Saturday Paper last year.
