For a glorious second as the site loaded, I thought there were less than ten fires all around Australia. Sadly, I was wrong but, as you can see, there’s still less fires overall.
Our allegedly glorious leader has severely pulled his head in and everyone is very carefully not saying anything about climate change. I’m just waiting for the first foot-in-mouth of Election Season, all the same.

Less fire overall at FIRKIN LAST! WOOO!
WA and NT are more on fire, as is Tazmania, but overall? We’re less on fire. One hundred and sixty-two fires versus two hundred and whatnot.
Obviously, we’re still ON fire. Less is better than more, in this case. There are still homes on fire and there are still people who are without most of their lives and there is STILL a lot of rebuilding to do. There’s still a lot of recovery and, thanks to the droughts and the storms and whatnot, there’s a lot of topsoil just sailing away in the wind and rain.
This is still a class A clusterfuck in progress. This is going to have long-term effects for literal years.
@dualityandsuch sent this to me and this should definitely be an initiative.

Somehow, despite the fact that it has been consistently on fire since this all began, the Canberra region is more on fire than yesterday. There’s a total of two hundred and forty-eight (248) fires nationwide.
A firebomber crashed and nobody knows why, with three Americans dying as a result. They’ve grounded the firebombers as a gesture of respect and potentially to find out if any other planes are at risk.
Our allegedly glorious leader hasn’t had anything more to say about this situation and I choose to take that as a nebulous win.

WA is back on fire again, but the east coast has less burninating, so I want to take that win.
No fires would be better, but it is bushfire season, so… Can’t have everything.
I high-key want to know where I can get one of those atmospheric carbon scrubbers, how much they are, and whether or not one will fit in my backyard. I want to mail the resultant carbon cubes to Canberra and demand my cut of the coal payouts.
No new bon mots from Scotty From Marketing. I think he’s pulling his head in at last. May he keep his head pulled in until he is kicked tf out.
Action Needed
I have a few words about the latest set of bad ScoMisms from the news.
Lots of them are rude.

Less fires overall except that one bit on the border of Victoria and NSW. I’d have thought there’d be nothing left to burn down there. Most of it looks to be in the capital territory…
After a zoom-in, it looks like a lot of folks’ homes are up in flames. Ouch. I hope everyone got out of there okay.
Vote green, and do whatever you can to clean up this sorry world. We can’t do a lot about being a flammable landscape, but we can do some other things to lower the global temperature.
ScoMo apparently hates that people are calling him “Scotty from Marketing” now. Let’s use the hell out of both.

WA is no longer on fire, and there are less fires all over. Large portions of the East coast are on fire AGAIN, so it’s a little win-lose over here.
What you can do if you don’t have money:
- Make certain you’re registered to vote
- Jump through every legal hoop you can to be able to vote
- Vote for the greenest candidate you’ve got
- For anything
- Repeat from step 1
The only way we can make certain that climate denial is not at the helm of this sinking ship is by NOT voting for climate denial. I don’t care if Senator Oilman is making all the trains run on time, if they don’t have an initiative for greening YOUR area, they’re out.
If you do have money, put it into helping the suffering with a side of greening the world if you can. Thanks.

Rain continues to help, but we’re still on fire.
Fire watch, 18th Jan 2020
As you can see, the rain is helping put out a lot of the fires on the East coast, but that still leaves a lot of the rest of the nation up in flames. The news may have stopped talking about it, but it’s going to be a long time before the actual crisis is over.
