Hype for the Future 71E: More on Australian Population Density

Introduction

While much of the eastern Australian coast maintains a stable population base and higher density than the interior of the nation and continent, select regions just slightly further inland are effectively at more of a suburban density, specifically because of the climatological differences between the immediate coastal areas and interior regions.

Desert Nation

Australia is predominantly a desert nation, not by population, but by area. The vast majority of the nation is at least semi-arid, with large portions of the region fully arid in climatology. Even though Antarctica 🇦🇶 is technically also a desert in most cases, Australia is more of an inhabited desert, even though the nation—and continent—were each relatively recently settled by Aboriginal Australians and later colonized by European powers, without significant penetration from Europeans into the Australian interior due to hostile territory.

Today, the vast majority of Australia 🇦🇺, both as a nation and as a continent, is notable for having a desert or semi-arid climate, including all of Northern Territory except the northern areas, all of Western Australia except by the Timor Sea and around Perth, all of South Australia except for coastal regions including Adelaide, and the western and central portions of New South Wales and Queensland. Only Victoria and Tasmania are sizable states without a significant desert area, though the northwestern portion of Victoria is occasionally semi-arid. The Australian Capital Territory also lacks a desert or semi-arid climate.

Hype for the Future 59L: Why novaTopFlex is Reluctant to Travel to Death Valley

Introduction 🏜️ 🏞️

Death Valley National Park is located in the midst of the desert area well into the Californian interior, associated with eastern San Bernardino County and adjacent counties. Located within Death Valley are hostile conditions and the advisory to turn off all air conditioning and get exposed to the extreme heat during the entirety of the visit. Unfortunately, being forced to visit a place in global warming and other climate change consequences is inherently unethical, so the idea of novaTopFlex traveling to Death Valley seems unsustainable for the obvious aforementioned regions. Interestingly, by the way, Death Valley 🏜️ also has an emoji dedicated to the specific area in the interior of California and the Mojave Desert.
