"The Black Summer forest fires of 2019–2020 burned more than 24 million
hectares, directly causing 33 deaths and almost 450 more from smoke inhalation.
But were these fires unprecedented? You might remember sceptics questioning the
idea that the Black Summer fires really were worse than conflagrations like the
1939 Black Friday fires in Victoria.
We can now confidently say that these fires were far from normal. Our new
analysis of Australian forest fire trends just published in
Nature
Communications confirms for the first time the Black Summer fires are part of
a clear trend of worsening fire weather and ever-larger forest areas burned by
fires."
