Probable Ginger Syndrome in native Eucalypt forests on a North facing slope in the Huon valley of lutruwita/Tasmania
A visible symptom of extreme forest stress, it is thought to be brought on by excessively hot and dry conditions and leads to death of the affected trees

@DenisCOVIDinfoguy thanks for your updates!
No stress, it looks like NSW Health made the same one
@DenisCOVIDinfoguy yas total cases for the week in NSW are approx 4000 ~ roughly where the black line sits
Oh dear
@DenisCOVIDinfoguy you know... I think they read thier own chart wrong?
by my interpretation the 10 000 is referring to weekly covid notifications, whilst the no of healthcare workers furloughed is ~ 500
The dangers of dual y-axis charts hey
And the 10k is right there next to the furlough bar, so easy to spot
Also for Sat and Sun by the looks of it, only going back to 'high' from 'extreme' peak temps from Monday onwards
In Southern Tasmania logging of critically endangered Swift Parrot habitat continues, with work expanding to a new coupe on the banks of the Esperance river
The Swifties breed in lutruwita every summer and migrate up the East coast and through the central Vic/NSW plains to South East Queensland for the Winter
With only around 300 left in the wild it is vital that the last old growth forest in Swift Parrot breeding areas be left standing to provide nesting sites and forage

none of that is super important ~ here in Australia alone there are new coal and gas projects that will add 1.6 billion tonnes of carbon per annum by 2030 which is around 4x the emissions of the entire United Kingdom! (Unless we stop them)
So the consumption of a single citizen as 1/67 million is mathematically insignificant
Not to say you shouldn't reduce emissions in your personal life as much as you can, just don't think it will change the outcome or stress about the edge cases
The idea of a 'personal carbon footrpint' was actually introduced by fossil fuel companies as a distraction and a transference of collective politics to neoliberal 'individual consumption'
The most effective thing any citizen in the world can do is campaign against fossil fuels and/or deforestation ~ the leverage on this action, in terms of the collective political pressure of all activists pushing governments and corporations to act faster, is far greater then anyone can achieve farnarkling about with a calculator in the supermarket
