4. Climate impacts are emotionally powerful
NSWRFS & FRNSW responded with numerous appliances to a bushfire burning for the second day around the Cessnock town of Aberdare . The fire burnt along Duffie Rd and bounded Maitland & Cessnock Rds. Multiple Taskforces responded as well as aerial support from waterbombing aircraft. During the night backburning operations were conducted to establish containment lines. Rain fell during the operations overnight as a southerly change passed through the region.
Our research suggests that showing a climate impact - in this case a bush fire - from the perspective of identifiable individuals (the firefighters) is more powerful than the impact without the individuals.
