Australia

*)

The number of deaths from wildfires that have already claimed 135 lives in the Australian state of Victoria is likely to rise, officials have warned. Police believe some of the fires were started deliberately - actions which Prime Minister Kevin Rudd said amounted to "mass murder". Survivors have recounted how they fled walls of flames. Some people died in their cars trying to escape the fires. Some rural towns have been almost completely destroyed. A number of sites have been sealed off by police as possible crime scenes. An area of 3,000 sq km (1,200 sq miles) has been affected.

(...)

""Balls of fire would rain out of the sky long before we actually saw the wall of flames coming through the trees," Christopher Barnes, of Kinglake, said. "The sounds are incredible. I thought at the start that it was thunder and it was actually the sounds of the fire coming through the bush." "

The Australian Prime Minister accused arsonists of “mass murder” today as the death toll from savage bushfires sweeping parts of the country reached 131. With thousands of homeless families flooding refugee centres around the state of Victoria, questions are also being raised about the nation's bushfire safety policies. Horrific stories have emerged of death – and survival – as police continue to sift though the remains of the 750 homes destroyed by the fire looking for bodies. The Government announced a Royal Commission into the scores of blazes which have torn through 330,000 hectares (1,275 square miles).

What about global warming??

*) Bushfires and global warming: is there a link?

Scientists are reluctant to link ­individual weather events to global warming, because natural variability will always throw up extreme events. However, they say that climate change loads the dice, and can make severe episodes more likely. (...) "Global warming is predicted to make this sort of event happen 25%, 50% more," he told Sky News. "It's a sobering reminder of the need for this nation and the whole world to act and put at a priority our need to tackle climate change." Models suggest global warming could bring temperature rises as high as 6C for Australia this century, if global emissions continue unabated, with rainfall decreasing in the southern states and increasing further north. As if to demonstrate that, Queensland, in the north, is currently experiencing widespread flooding after rainfall of historic proportions. More than 60% of Queensland has been declared a disaster zone in the worst floods for more than 30 years. Some 3,000 homes have been affected, and the main highway between Cairns and Townsville has been cut off. Roger Stone, a climate expert at the University of Southern Queensland, said: "It certainly fits the climate change models, but I have to add the proviso that it's very difficult, even with extreme conditions like this, to always attribute it to climate change." (...) "The weather and climatic conditions recently don't augur well for the future. Bushfires are an important and going to be ever-present part of the landscape," he said. Australia is in the grip of the worst drought in a century, which has stretched for more than seven years in some areas and has forced restrictions on water use in the country's big cities. A government-commissioned report on climate change last year warned that exceptionally hot years, which used to occur once every 22 years, would occur every one or two years, virtually making drought a permanent part of the Australian environment.
