Moreover, a hypothetical scenario where Australia achieves complete carbon neutrality—a monumental and costly effort—would scarcely alter these projections. The models indicate that curbing emissions entirely would reduce the projected burn area from 6% back to approximately 5.9997%. In other words, such an effort would have negligible impact on fire regimes over the next 80 years, raising critical questions about the cost-effectiveness of climate policies aimed solely at reducing bushfires.
