Our Bureau of Meteorology has added a new colour to weather maps for temperatures over 122F (50C),
It has added a new rating for Fire Danger Warnings. The top rating used to be Extreme. The new top warning is Catastrophic.
And the hills, they are lava.

It does look cool. Although not particularly fun for those living in the area I imagine.

Physics and beauty have no morals. It peeves me when people complain about a beautiful photograph of a slum "whitewashing", "prettifying", "undermining" or "devaluing" the problem of poverty.

Just show them James Nachtwey photos. Beautiful photos for sure but also guaranteed nightmare material. No whitewashing, prettifying, undermining or devaluing there. Just lots of haunting photos of people who are all dead now.


Edit: On a sidenote, Peter Jackson must be annoyed that this is a good 10 years too late to record material for Mordor. Right around the corner from New Zealand as well.

Funny you should say that.

Tasmania has a lot of water and is an island state. Thousands of residents and tourists basically wound up sheltering in the sea, often under jetties. Many were isolated on a peninsula, and a flotilla of boats had to come round and supply emergency water, food and other necessities as the fires cut them off for days on end.

Lucifer not amused by the naming of their animals, clearly.

The desert will turn to glass.

Well, duh. There's no fucking way a koala could kill a great white shark.
