Alpine skinks quite possibly are too, as are many other fauna that depend on the particular vegetation communities for habitat. Since 2011 I've been predicting that the Southwest Wilderness Heritage Area will be burned into button grass and other pyrophyllic bushland/grassland. Back in 2011 though I thought that it would take a century or more to realise the shift, but given the wildfires that have already occurred in the last several years I now suspect that I might have been conservative by half a century or more.<br /><br />For the plants and animals that live in Tasmania, as well as for the humans who call it home, they never were in the kitchen, but now they find themselves on fire and there's nowhere south to go...<br /><br />My fieldwork haunts in the northern half of coastal NSW are in the same boat but latitude and connection to the rest of the Australian landmass will make the change here a little less stark in its march, but that change will come.<br /><br />Any sociopath who glibly says "get out of the kitchen" is simply saying "I want to fuck up the planet, and I don't give a shit if it hurts anyone else." Nothing less than that.Bernard J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16299073166371273808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2313427464944392482.post-45538260453017231112019-09-26T01:04:15.697+10:002019-09-26T01:04:15.697+10:00This comment has been removed by the author.Bernard J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16299073166371273808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2313427464944392482.post-19902591789046224942019-09-26T00:52:22.478+10:002019-09-26T00:52:22.478+10:00It was dry at one end of the Titanic as it was sin...It was dry at one end of the Titanic as it was sinking...Bernard J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16299073166371273808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2313427464944392482.post-56217751653734041982019-09-25T14:21:56.184+10:002019-09-25T14:21:56.184+10:00cop this childish poly

Although they are causing <a href="https://www.sbs.com.au/news/climate-change-is-accelerating-according-to-a-new-un-report" rel="nofollow">an acceleration in sea level rise</a> (melting ice), it's very cold in the arctic, much colder than Brisbane, so it can't be a problem.
