"ok so the latest Bad Bushfires Map doing the rounds makes the mistake of re-rendering grids from the FIRMS map into a heat map, instead of using points and scaling correctly"

Not slim trolling the forum with misinformation and fake maps ?

Was reading through this article about the fires. It’s just horrifying what’s going on over there at the moment. 70 metre high flames being reported, the pictures of all the destruction and death the fire has caused it’s just really really sad

...the Irwin family are very involved atm with their wildlife hospital...and obviously because they’re so well known, their zoo already has the attention of many celebrities and well known figures ..who have been making huge donations to try to help...

our dutch red cross has opened a charity action called ''Giro5125'' to raise money for Australia


i checked on Wikipedia last night about the last fire which was 2018 till may last year, so almost lasted a full year but this current one has more impact because it has (had been) at majority of the country

compared to one month ago, most fires now are still ongoing in the south


my mom actually said, couldn't they have done something to prevent this? i mean bushfires have happened quite many times there

but i guess what is more important once fires are out now is rebuilding homes for people, and also rebuilding the homes for all surviving wildlife

and also having some sort of fire prevention system, idk what can be done but scientists must think of something

Tuesday also saw the funeral of a firefighter who died on 19 December in an accident on the way to a major blaze near Sydney.

Andrew O'Dwyer was killed alongside his colleague Harvey Keaton when their fire truck hit a fallen tree.

Dozens of fellow firefighters formed a guard of honour outside a church in the New South Wales capital.
