WHAT IS HAPPENING TO AUSTRALIA??
đĽWHAT IS HAPPENING TO AUSTRALIA??đĽ
- 500 MILLION hectares burnt (compared to the 1 million of the California bushfires, & 500 thousand of the Amazon one). Thatâs more than the size of Belgium!
- 19 people dead and 12 missing (as of today), hundreds upon hundreds of homes have been destroyed. Many people are living in shelters right now because they have nowhere to go.
- 480 MILLION animals dead including rare species of wildlife (koalas are now back on the critically endangered list). Wildlife hospitals are at CAPACITY.
- Our capital city has now been labelled as the WORST air quality city in the world. Smoke fills the air, their post offices are shut until further notice. Businesses in major cities in the country are sending their workers home. Major highways keep closing then opening then closing down again.
- The smoke & flames are engulfing so much of the country that you can SEE IT FROM SPACE. The temperature in NSW has just hit a high of 48*C (118*F) this week. The smoke is now also so large that it is affecting the air quality all the way over in New Zealand!!!
- The Australian Navy have just rescued people who had been fleeing on boats to the oceans to get away from the fires (this is an all time record of people rescued on home-soil by the Navy). The army has also been deployed to help.
- Many cities & towns now have no internet, electricity, or any sort of power. Petrol stations are closing down which means no fuel.
- So many rural communities all over the country have also been suffering from one of the top most intense droughts recorded. This started just before all of the fires.
- People are buying equipment for our Firefighters because they canât keep up with demand (due to our government cutting their funding!!!). Many Aussies are angry with our Prime Minister, who keeps deflecting questions on climate change and saying âletâs rally togetherâ without actually specifying what he is going to do for the future of Australia now that it is all burning up.
- The harbour bridge and opera house are completely covered in smoke. Ash covers car windows. People are being evacuated all over the country. Some people are staying to protect their homes... The air quality in SYDNEY is equal to smoking 30 cigarettes every time you take a breath. And thereâs so much more thatâs happening that I couldnât fit.
- Australia now holds the record of the âlargest fires in recorded history in the worldâ, and hardly anyone seems to be paying attention. WE NEED YOUR HELP. When the Amazon was burning, when the Notre Dame was burning, when California was burning you all screamed for someone to do something. Weâre begging for help and no one will hear us.

The Marvel Juggernaut: With Great Power Comes Zero Responsibility by Megan White

[ID: The seagull meme. The first panel shows a seagull saying âHeyâ. In the second panel, the seagull opens its mouth slightly and says âDo you know what day it is?â. In the third panel, the seagull leans back and opens its mouth a lot. In the fourth panel, the seagull leans forward and screams âItâs transgender day of visibility!â. The last panel is overlaid in the colors of the transgender flag. End ID]
