I was Victoria’s Environment Minister in 2005 when a fire burnt much of Wilsons Promontory. The fire was the result of a fuel reduction burn which ESCAPED ten days after initial ignition as a result of warm and windy weather. The risks are REAL.

My partner just showed me this free @windyforecast app that visualises nitrogen dioxide (air qual) levels throughout the week — like weather patterns. It is mesmerising and looks like a dystopian version of van Gogh’s, The Starry Night. 😷 #AustraliaBurns

Australia, your country is burning – dangerous climate change is here with you now https://t.co/WmQsZ8kMhI

[Belinda Barnet @manjusrii]

Active fires 🔥 in Australia.

At what point are we going to listen to our own scientists and the Bureau of Meteorology and admit this is climate change? When the entire land mass is covered?

[Liz O'Brien @DrLizOB]

Prof Michael Leiter @Deakin talks to @WattleProgram on #burnout & managing #stress

Three dimensions of burnout:
1. Exhaustion = overextended
+
2. Cynicism = disengaged
+
3. Inefficacy = ineffective

It's a three part syndrome...
