Knitting while Australia burns
Abstract
A global biodiversity hotspot, Australia has reached a tipping point from which many of its forests may never recover. Record-breaking heat, drought and windy conditions have burned at least 10 million hectares. Halfway through the season, fires have persisted for months with no end in sight. Here, the continent faces an exponential rise in future wildfire risk as the climate warms and dries.
