You mean that thing that's happening, that we haven't been able to stop, caused this fire to be worse? Who could have predicted this?? (/s)
I live in the state of Victoria, Australia and we have, in fact, predicted this. We have a statewide fire service, we don't cut their funding, and we have strict building codes in fire-prone areas, as well as stricter overall no matter where in the state you build.
We've studied the impacts of climate change, and prepare for the worst.
You can't say them werds here in 'Merica. You'll scare the executive's profits!
