This is how you present a number that is off the charts. The scale of the fires in Australia is unprecedented and the year has been exceptionally hot and dry. Great summary by @PopovichN @BlackiLi @DeniseDSLu @nytgraphics: nytimes.com/interactive/20… #ddj #dataviz #AustraliaBurning

"Australia's bushfires are believed to have spewed as much as two-thirds of the nation's annual carbon dioxide emissions in just the past three months, with experts warning forests may take more than 100 years to absorb what's been released so far." smh.com.au/politics/feder…

I've been thinking a bit about the East Gippsland fires and how they compare to fire extent over the last 70 years. So I mapped them. Thread!


Australia's summer season is already setting records. And it's only getting started... This Saturday has a solid chance of being Sydney's hottest day in recorded history. The current Sydney-wide record is 47.8C (Richmond, 1939). 🌡️
