Reply to comment by Strazdas1 in Large parts of Europe are warming twice as fast as the planet on average. As a consequence of human emissions of greenhouse gases, the climate across the continent has also become drier, particularly in southern Europe, leading to worse heat waves and an increased risk of fires. by MistWeaver80

It isnt. Australia is less than. 20% desert. They landmass has nearly the same amount of forests as it does deserts. Yall have weird understandings of Australia.

Australia government says it has 16% landmass of forests https://www.agriculture.gov.au/abares/forestsaustralia/profiles/australias-forests-2016

about 35% of the Australian continent receives so little rain, it is practically desert

Yes, and again, even still less than 1% of the forested area burned during the time we are talking about. I'm not sure why you are trying to be argumentative about this.

What im trying to say is that burned forest compared to total landmass is bad measure and should be compared to total forest mass.

And I'm saying even compared to just forest area (not sure how to calculate mass of forests burned) its still like 1% of the area that was burned.

So even when you ignore about 80% of the country, about 1% was on fire.

Its so incredibly far from being anywhere near a majority.

I'm not going to respond to you anymore.

Then thats what you should have been saying in the beginning. Also i think you are mixing me up with someone else, because i never said a majority was on fire.

You're literally jumping into a thread about that specific thing. I think you are perhaps mixed up about what is happening here.
