An Australian community for everything from your backyard to beyond the black stump.

Topics may include Aussie plants and animals, environmental, farming, energy, and climate news and stories (mostly Aus specific), etc. New related communities will be split off when required, think like subcommunities that exist on that other platform.

Trigger Warning: Community contains mostly bad environmental news (not by choice!). Community may also feature stories about animal agriculture and/or meat. Until tagging is available, please be aware and click accordingly.

An El Niño event has arrived, according to the World Meteorological Organization, raising fears of record high global temperatures, extreme weather and, in Australia, a severe fire season.

Before we start planning ahead for the next bushfire season, it's important to understand what drives bushfire risks - and the influence of climate change, fire management and events such as El Niño.

In Australia, El Niño events are associated with hotter and drier conditions, leading to more days of high fire danger.

The return of an El Niño has fire crews on alert.

The expected return of another El Niño should heighten efforts to create a more considered and sustainable fire management regime - particularly in southern Australia.
