In Australia, climate change under RCP8.5 increases the risk of pyro-convective fire by 20-40 days in rangelands of Western Australia, South Australia and the Northern Territory . Pyro-convective fire conditions could reach more frequently into the more populated areas of New South Wales, particularly at the start of the austral summer . GCMs do not agree, however, on the areas of projected fire increase in New South Wales . Increases in heat and potential increases in wildfire threaten the existence of temperature montane rainforest in Tasmania, Australia .
