Australian Forest Fire 2024. Two more people have died as australia experiences what is expected to be its worst fire season in years. Central to their concerns are how the ipcc predictions rely on a tool called the forest fire danger index (ffdi), which does not capture the full potential of future fires in drought and heatwave.
Hotter conditions dry out grass and leaf litter, producing more fuel for fire. One fire can be seen moving more than 600 km from near the nt border almost to the coast south of broome.
