- Inferno on Earth: Wildfires Spreading as Temperatures Rise
- Janet Larsen
http://www.earthpolicy.org/index.php?/plan_b_updates/2009/update85
Future firefighters have their work cut out for them. Perhaps nowhere does this hit home harder than in Australia, where in early 2009 a persistent drought, high winds, and record high temperatures set the stage for the worst wildfire in the country's history. On February 9th, now known as ?Black Saturday,? the mercury in Melbourne topped 115 degrees Fahrenheit (46.4 degrees Celsius) as fires burned over 1 million acres in the state of Victoria?destroying more than 2,000 homes and killing more than 170 people, tens of thousands of cattle and sheep, and 1 million native animals.
Even as more people move into fire-prone wildlands around the world, the intense droughts and higher temperatures that come with global warming are likely to make fires more frequent and severe in many areas. (See table of regional observations and predictions) For southeastern Australia, home to much of the country's population, climate change could triple the number of extreme fire risk days by 2050.

By Daniellle Sims
If you are just starting to familiarize yourself with herbsand would like to add a versatile herb to your cabinet,
then you may want to take a look at chamomile as your
first choice. Chamomile, a flower in the daisy family,
is one of the oldest and most favorite of all herbs dating
back to ancient Egyptians. It's both a pretty flower and an
ancient healer. This delicate flower is dried and drunk as
a tea or used as an extract topically. Here in the United
States, oral chamomile is used primarily for relaxation and sleep.
This herb is most often associated with tea or herbal remedies.
The flowers of the herb chamomile are infused in hot water make
a soothing tea. It is probably the most widely used relaxing
nervine herb in the western world. An anti-inflammatory and
anti spasmodic herb, chamomile helps to calm down spasms of the
digestive tract in conditions of cramping and indigestion.
This herb has also been said to rejuvenate the skin and hair.
To make a quick and easy tea facials simply apply a paste made
from one teaspoon of fine cornmeal mixed with cooled chamomile
tea to the face, let dry, then gently rub off. For skin
irritation and sunburn, make a strong tea of chamomile and
apply at least three times a day.
For application to the skin, chamomile tea is prepared, cooled
and applied as often as needed. This very gentle skin tonic is
ideal to replenish and enrich dry or sensitive skin. It is a
bactericidal, anti-itching, soothing antiseptic, refresher to
the skin and reduces swelling. Using chamomile as an external
wash in strong infusion, or decoction, or as part of a hot
compress, the herb can also soothe burns and scalds, skin
rashes, and sores. This herbal flower makes a fantastic skin
care treatment.
Chamomile is an herb that people have used for centuries.
Chamomile is one of the most popular herbs in the world,
available in a variety of forms. It is one of the most favored
medicinal plants in the world. For this reason alone, Chamomile
is a very desirable plant.
