Australia: Like a Furnace – Incredible Satellite Images Reveal Ferocious Bushfires

More trees lost means faster into the climate catastrophe, more human misery, more wildlife suffering and death, more and faster loss of biodiversity and more of this planet's beauty gone - and who is to blame for all of this?




THE COPERNICUS SENTINEL-2 MISSION HAS BEEN USED TO IMAGE THE FIRES. THE SENTINEL-2 SATELLITES EACH CARRY JUST ONE INSTRUMENT – A HIGH-RESOLUTION MULTISPECTRAL IMAGER WITH 13 SPECTRAL BANDS. THE SMOKE, FLAMES AND BURN SCARS CAN BE SEEN CLEARLY IN THE IMAGE SHOWN HERE, WHICH WAS CAPTURED ON 31 DECEMBER 2019. THE LARGE BROWNISH AREAS DEPICT BURNED VEGETATION AND PROVIDE AN IDEA OF THE SIZE OF THE AREA AFFECTED BY THE FIRES HERE – THE BROWN ‘STRIP’ RUNNING THROUGH THE IMAGE HAS A WIDTH OF APPROXIMATELY 50 KM AND STRETCHES FOR AT LEAST 100 KM ALONG THE AUSTRALIAN EAST COAST.

Much of the tropics and south are burning

Looks like Australia is not the only place burning. I wonder how much forests we loose every day when we should plant a trillion trees or more to turn around the climate crisis. Does anyone really believe what is at stake here?
