Update: 2026-01-05
Description
A new report warns of massive wildfires threatening Australian cities, with almost seven million people at risk. The report highlights five key findings, including the same dangerous traits that fueled the LA fires, supercharged by climate change. More homes are being built in fire-prone areas, pollution is making fires hotter and less predictable, and these blazes are pushing modern firefighting to its limits. Experts warn of climate whiplash and unstable weather creating more fire opportunities. Leaders urge deep pollution cuts, investments in disaster prep, and stronger emergency services to protect urban fringes.
