AUSTRALIA IS BURNING
The disastrous wildfires taking place in Australia are not getting enough attention. People, animals & parts of Australia are dying, and there isn’t a sign that it is going to stop soon. These wildfires are 4 times worse than the amazon fires, and yet are receiving SO much less attention.
The facts:
There are currently 200 wildfires across Australia (expected to drastically increase).
So far, almost half a MILLION animals have been killed (including a third of its koala bears).
Over 20 people have lost their lives, with dozens more missing.
5 million hectares have been burned (the Amazon was 900,000).
Australian Priminister Scott Morrison refuses to accept that this is as a result of a climate crisis.
The wildfires have reached (and started to melt) glaciers in distant New Zealand.
Thousands of homes have been burned to the ground, resulting in evacuations.
The amount of Australia burnt is equivalent to the entire country of Belgium.
