Fire scientist and forest ecologist learning how to cooperate with country.

My work, thoughts and funding are independent, but I'm associated with Curtin University and ANU.
Some parts, yes. Mostly where microclimates used to keep things too moist to burn, but the hotter conditions dry them out.

It's going to be interesting if he keeps pushing on Greenland. That's going to wedge us from the EU, and it feels like such a simple way to fracture NATO. I agree though - even if Albo gets a spine, a lot of voters might choose Dutton/Trump/Putin. I'd love to know how close we are to that cliff.

I think that was also a criticism of the bishop who asked Trump to have mercy. They find that stuff the most offensive.

"Elon Musk could throw a nazi salute in the white house and media outlets would still try to rationalise it as an accident" feels like something I would tweet in 2019 and 30 guys named Andrew would tell me off for being hyperbolic

Could he have factored that in, but seeing what he can do without oversight in the meantime?

Cool! I was wondering if you were here too. Thanks for chasing me up.

I agree. The Exodus is a predictable action, so there is a chance we're being managed.

Expansion? The rest of the world is watching Trump progress from talking like a dictator into the next stage of discussion about invasion. How is it that the NYT are so submissive in their reporting?

You've had such a bad run with health, I really feel for you.
