Abstract

This report constructs fire climates for Australia from high quality climate data, identifying specific regimes that change abruptly in response to warmer and drier conditions. Fire risk increased abruptly in the late 1990s and early 2000s leading to hotter and more frequent fires. These acute changes in risk are not predicted by the current generation of climate models. This is a global phenomenon related to large-scale shifts in the climate system.
