Fires, storms, and typhoons hit Australia one after another. What happened to Australia?

With fires and heavy rains, Australia is indeed in dire straits. The onlookers couldn't help but sigh: It's true that misfortunes never come singly.

The original wildfires are actually a common operation in Australia every year. The climate is dry and hot, which can easily cause fires. But due to global warming, temperatures have risen again, and this time the wildfires have become more intense. In addition, the early government did not pay attention to this fire, and the wildfires became even more uncontrollable, and finally turned into an unprecedented disaster.

Global warming + man-made factors, the Australian fires lasted for nearly 5 months. Countless forests and animals were burned to ashes, causing immeasurable losses to the local area. And just when the residents were eagerly waiting for the fire to be extinguished quickly, a timely rain did arrive.

In early February, the fire area received a heavy rain that lasted for four days, which alleviated the fire situation to a certain extent. People happily ran into the rain to enjoy the blessings of nature, but before they had time to rejoice, the original fire warning turned into a flood warning.

This heavy rain is regarded as a "once-in-a-hundred-year" event. Floods have begun to occur in many parts of Australia under successive rainy weather. New South Wales was forced to close dozens of schools and evacuate towns, with flooding paralyzing traffic in the city. In addition to travel problems, power supply in many Australian cities was also interrupted. Damage to electrical circuits caused by heavy rains left about 90,000 households without power.

The only benefit brought by heavy rain is to put out fires. Many fires were well controlled, but the large amounts of ash produced by the fires were also mixed in the rainwater, which turned black. The dark water can cause secondary pollution to the environment, and the Australian people are really miserable.

At the same time as the heavy rain came, Australia was also attacked by Typhoon Damien. Some people hope that this cyclone can help control the fires, but Daming appeared in Western Australia, and the most intense burning areas are in the southeast, so it is good that this typhoon does not help, and it is not expected to do anything.

The succession of disasters is surprising, but all accidents are inevitable. Australia's extreme weather is just a microcosm of global climate change. If human beings still insist on their dominance over nature, this disaster will ultimately be closely related to everyone.
