The Informer

Our growing fire season and climate change – we talk to experts

Government & Organisations, Local, National, Natural Sciences, Science & Medicine, the informer

It’s been a very dry year – and a couple of dry years – here in Australia. The bushfire season has extended by up to three months in some areas, planned burns have been cancelled, and parts of the country are out of potable water.

• Jonathan Pollock, a climatologist at the Bureau of Meteorology
• Prof. David Bowman, from the University of Tasmania
• Greg Mullins, formerly with Fire & Rescue NSW
