Es besteht praktisch kein Zweifel, dass der Klimawandel das Problem wesentlich verschärft hat.
"Australia’s climate has warmed by more than one degree Celsius over the past century, causing an increase in the frequency and intensity of heat waves and droughts.[7] Eight of Australia's ten warmest years on record have occurred since 2005.[8] A study in 2018 conducted at Melbourne University found that the major droughts of the late 20th century and early 21st century in southern Australia are "likely without precedent over the past 400 years".[9] Across the country, the average summer temperatures have increased leading to record breaking hot weather, [10] with the early summer of 2019 the hottest on record.[11]
Heatwaves and droughts dry out the undergrowth and create conditions that increase the risk of bushfires. This has got worse in the last 30 years.[12] Since the mid-1990s, southeast Australia has experienced a 15% decline in late autumn and early winter rainfall and a 25% decline in average rainfall in April and May. Rainfall for January to August 2019 was the lowest on record in the Southern Downs (Queensland) and Northern Tablelands (New South Wales) with some areas 77% below the longterm average.[13]
More than a decade ago the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) concluded that ongoing anthropogenic climate change was virtually certain to increase in intensity and frequency of fires in Australia - a conclusion that has been endorsed in numerous reports since.[7] In November 2019, the Australian Climate Council published a report titled This is Not Normal[14] which also found the catastrophic bushfire conditions affecting NSW and Queensland in late 2019 have been aggravated by climate change."
