Firefighters warn of increased bushfire risk

http://www.greenpeace.org.au || The frequency of catastrophic fire danger could increase more than ten-fold in Melbourne, and the number of total fire ban days could triple in Adelaide, Canberra and Sydney by 2050.

These are some of the scenarios mapped out in a report from the Fire Brigades Employees' Union and Greenpeace. Real action by government to address climate change, and mitigate future risks like these, is paramount.

@Greenpeace Australia G'day.. Nice clip. It's a case of Birds of a feather flocking together. I posted "SunFoil Mk-1 & the Solar Powered Fire Extinguisher", & your clip's 4th top-related link... I believe you'll enjoy my offerings. Either come to WarblesOnALot Ch., & wade thru the Wildlife clips, or search 'sunfoil' to find the nested series of vid's. The "Short-Talk.." is the best entrypoint, & "SunFoil Science..." maybe best value. Open source, so go viral on it. Ciao !

Firefighters around the world know that when the day comes for the perfect firestorm, they will be put to the ultimate test.

Thankyou for speaking out and making such sense. as a rural landowner i know and hear exactly what you are saying. I have for some time considered Firefighters as the real troops protecting Australia from terror! its time somene considered the protection of firefighters who are as you rightly point out also members of our community.

While I support what you're doing... Canberra bushfires in 2001? Pretty sure they were in 2003. If you're going to produce a 'scientific report', you had better get the simple facts correct.
