Megafires - A rethink is needed
"We should not forget that Australia’s 2019-20 megafires were the predictable consequence of climate change.The alternative fire management approaches we suggest will likely fail if climate change continues unabated.
"Bushfire management agencies aim to reduce fire risks through frequent fuel-reduction burning...But our research suggests this practice, which increases fire frequency, may create larger disruptions to ecosystems when big bushfires occur...Alternative approaches to large-scale prescribed burning are required.">>
