I was curious to see how the air quality in NYC this week compares to Sydney during the 2019 bush fires. I’m seeing in news stories that the AQI in NY was close to 500 this week… and in 2019 parts of Sydney were over 1000.

I remember we were all wearing N95 masks and buying air purifiers, and the smoke permeated everything. (It honestly prompted part of Rodd’s and my decision to move to Germany for a while.) Get used to it folks - this is climate change, and it’s not going to improve unless we take action NOW.

Important Note

This site features content going all the way back to 2000. The posts you’ll read reflect my views and writing style at the time. While I have gone back to clean up a few of them, I think it’s important not to sanitise too much. This site is a record of who I am and how I’ve grown. Any blog post written years ago may not reflect who I am today, nor how I would write about the same topic today.
