Bushfires and extreme heat in south-east Australia
Filed under: Climate Science— group @ 3:12 PM - () () ()
Guest commentary by David Karoly, Professor of Meteorology at the University of Melbourne in Australia
On Saturday 7 February 2009, Australia experienced its worst natural disaster in more than 100 years, when catastrophic bushfires killed more than 200 people and destroyed more than 1800 homes in Victoria, Australia. These fires occurred on a day of unprecedented high temperatures in south-east Australia, part of a heat wave that started 10 days earlier, and a record dry spell.
This has been written from Melbourne, Australia, exactly one week after the fires, just enough time to pause and reflect on this tragedy and the extraordinary weather that led to it. First, I want to express my sincere sympathy to all who have lost family members or friends and all who have suffered through this disaster.
There has been very high global media coverage of this natural disaster and, of course, speculation on the possible role of climate change in these fires. So, did climate change cause these fires? The simple answer is “No!” Climate change did not start the fires. Unfortunately, it appears that one or more of the fires may have been lit by arsonists, others may have started by accident and some may have been started by fallen power lines, lightning or other natural causes.
Maybe there is a different way to phrase that question: In what way, if any, is climate change likely to have affected these bush fires?
I think everyone should be effected by this. This should cause everyone to take act about global warming.

The wildfires in South Carolina today are an example of the impact of global warming. They say that 2,500 people have to leave their homes. By the way, Lawrenceville is under risk as well because of high winds and heat.
Who said global warming doesn't have an impact?
hey comprone, i seen that i had a deficiency y is that i know im missing the last few assignments but i turned all my other work in so how do i have an "F"
Dr. Comprone
Being in this Composition II class and talking bout global warming has help me to understand more about what is happening in the world. Studying Global warming has help me to understand why the weather has its ups and downs like it does. Global warming is occurring and people need to know the outcomes of what is happening.

Hey, Dr. Comprone this is my tenth blog. I really learned alot of things throughout the course this semester. I became more aware of the threat of global warming. I learned alot also from the other students powerpoints, and my powerpoint as well. we all contribute to global warming in some way and if we change our ways just a little we can all help reduce the threat of global warming.

I enjoyed being in your Speech fundamentals class this semester. I was an intriguing experience indeed. i have a terrible issue with stage fright so the debates and speeches helped me to become more comfortable with public speaking.
Thank You So much

Dr. Comprone I was on your web site looking for the assignments but i had no luck finding them. So i was wondering if you would stay after class with me tomarrow to show me how to find the assignments. I really need to make up any missing work because I'm not trying to fail your class.
