That the capacity of global models to predict the future can be well tested by their capacity to reconstruct past events is generally agreed, as is the definition of normal winter as the numerical equivalent of >5x103 degree-days (with the degrees in Fahrenheit). One-…

The effects of fires on the Australian landscape are considered with respect to: lands of the urban-wildland interface; timber lands (especially State Forests); rural landscapes; and areas set aside as national parks, reserves and wilderness. The effects of both planned and…
