Extreme Weather and Bushfire in Australia

Melbourne, Victoria and other parts of Australia over the past months have witnessed a dramatic change of weather, from as cold as 04 celsius in the winter, to as hot as 45c for 3 days in a row in summer (Jan/Feb 2009) ... so much so that bushfire are reported in some parts of Australia, prompting the PM, Kevin Rudd to call for extra budget to help the victims of bushfire. Already 110 people are reported death, and the tolls are climbing as of today. Needless to say, thousands of farm animals are burnt to death in the bushfire. Lost of properties and farm goods are in the millions of dollars.
