    …because this fire was a consequence of climate change.

    You mean that thing that’s happening, that we haven’t been able to stop, caused this fire to be worse? Who could have predicted this?? (/s)

    I live in the state of Victoria, Australia and we have, in fact, predicted this. We have a statewide fire service, we don’t cut their funding, and we have strict building codes in fire-prone areas, as well as stricter overall no matter where in the state you build.

    We’ve studied the impacts of climate change, and prepare for the worst.
