	Description:		This time last year, one of the worst bushfire seasons ever seen in Australia was just getting started. The so-called "Black Summer" fires of 2019-2020 claimed 33 lives, burnt through at least 12 million hectares, and killed or displaced almost 3 billion koalas, kangaroos and other animals. The big question is: will this summer be a repeat. Today on The Signal, the science of bushfire prediction. What do the forecasts say? How much faith should we place in them? And are we doing enough to prevent more horrors in future? Featured: Dr Richard Thornton, CEO, Bushfire and Natural Hazards Cooperative Research Centre, Melbourne
