Thanks linamachina for bringing it to light. December + environment = bushfire danger. In parts of Australia the bushfire warning has gone off the scale and they now have a new rating: catastrophic.

i think you've said something about this before - bush fires are incredibly destructive and i was shocked when you said that some of them are certainly started deliberately. that is an incredibly stupid thing for people to do just because they are bored. so does this new rating mean that they are expected to be worse than last year?

Hi Cloudwatcher, I just read Jb's comment and I had never really given much thought to bushfires in Austrailia. I am going to look them up. Do you encounter them frequently in December?

Thanks cloudwatcher for the info. It sounds frighteningly tragic. I can't imagine the huge fireballs you wrote about. I am going to read your blogs now and come back.

Hi Jb, consider yourself stalked and picked for an old discussion to be "re-animated". I like the title and considering it was 4 months ago, I was not yet a mylot member and that it will be December soon, I thought it appropriate to see if this will invoke any thoughts about December. December is definitely a month for distractions....I guess I could go on about that, or perhaps say that distraction happens whenever I realize that I am in the month of December....

I also just realized that this is posted in Environment interest so I must modify my response. December in various parts of the world is a harsh time for the environment. Bitterly cold at times makes it difficult for animals to find food. The landscape in the cold regions are bleak and with a stark beauty. Winter solstice begins....

hiya, this wasn't even a discussion - it was a correction to the one before it (about un climate summit) but thankyou very much for coming here

Sorry Jb, still it was fun. Might be more interesting than ice cream and pizza but not more than 2012 pillows...
