Rockdoc, not pickin' on Copper Mt. - know nothing about the company. I'm sure it is worthy of your expectations. But as you say DYODD, an important part must be climate change vulnerabilities. I would not be surprised to find the term hydrophobic soil in much more common use ten years hence, than today.
Another common failure of the imagination is the fact that the forests burned today will likely never return. If the drought that is forecast to continue and temperatures continue to increase, will cause higher rates of evaporation upon which the native flora are ill-adapted. Needless to say, that if the soil is too dry for a mature tree, with its roots several feet in the ground, certainly the top few inches will be too dry for any seedling to survive.
The risks to NW Australia are mostly of typhoon, history of port and rail line flooding. Storms are forecast to increase in frequency and intensity during La Nina oscillations.
