How does climate change make bushfires worse?
Climate change influences all extreme weather events, from floods to droughts. In this case, rising sea temperatures are causing a weather phenomenon that experts are calling a "supercharged" Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD). While the IOD itself is a natural event, climate change has increased its strength and frequency, bringing unnaturally warm and dry conditions to Australia - decreasing rainfall, extending the drought and leading to extreme fire conditions.
What is Greenpeace doing about bushfires?
Greenpeace has raised over $70,000 for the Rural Fire Service. We're calling on the Australian Government to take climate change seriously. No more excuses.
