#BushfireCrisis #AustraliaOnFire

Approx. 2/3 of gorgeous #KangarooIsland in #SouthAustralia has been devastated after two weeks of #bushfires. Blustery weather is creating difficult conditions. w. 22 firefighters injured to date. Look at this 👇👇👇!
The before and after photos emerging from #kangarooislandfire are horrifying. Let's start big picture with @NASA's aerial shots of Australia's third biggest island on Dec 16 (left) and then Jan 7 (right).
@NASA @ScheuerJo @SameeraSavarala @martinfredras @AlanaCraigen @luckytran @BecSusanGill @GretaThunberg @MikeHudema @EricHolthaus @ap4ca This is an ecological tragedy for #Australia. #KangarooIsland is renowned for its nature reserves and vast numbers of wildlife including sea lions, koalas and many endangered bird species. @nzherald posted the photo below from #FlindersChaseNationalPark.

Budgets and Bushfires: has government cost-cutting hindered firefighting? @MichaelWestBiz does some much-needed digging. The truth will shock. Bad enough to be saddled with a climate-denying gov but cost-cutting is the main reason why this inferno is now out of control
“How come we only had 4 trucks to defend our town?” pleaded distressed resident of Cobargo to Prime Minister Scott Morrison. “I’m not going to shake your hand until you give the RFS more funding,” another woman from Cobargo, Zoey, told the PM. Little did they know the truth.
Michael West found that spending on equipment dipped significantly in the years leading up to this terrible summer, and also that spending on “fire mitigation work” had fallen significantly.

See thread exposing how these “bushfires” are really just crimes against humanity, nature, and the ecosystem. Is the establishment using them to justify more taxes, cause massive disturbance in our economy, farming, and environment? Apparently a “trillion $ opportunity” for some!

Avustralya'da bahar aylarında başlayan ve halen devam eden büyük yangınların altında yatan sebepler ve bu yangınların olası ekolojik ve politik sonuçları hakkında bilgi vermek isterim. #AustraliaOnFire #iklimkrizi #iklimdeğişikliği #ormanyangını
Bu yaz Avustralyayı aşırı sıcaklıkların ve düşük nem koşullarının kavurduğunu belirtmekte fayda var. Tüm kıta, kayıtlar tutulmaya başlandığından beri en sıcak yılını yaşamakta. Bu durum, aylardır devam eden büyük yangınları iklim değişikliğinin tetiklemiş olduğunu düşündürmekte.
Bununla birlikte, her büyük yangından sonra olduğu gibi medya & sosyal medyada büyük bir bilgi kirliliği var. Yangınların biyolojik çeşitliliği tamamen yok ettiği, çok sayıda türün ortadan kalktığı ve yangınlarda "500 milyon" hayvanın öldüğüne dair haberler öne çıkmış durumda.

dear friends. the sun's up there somewhere and won't set for another 90 minutes, but a short while ago dear #narooma looked like this
the wind is swirling, gusting from everywhere although it seems to be mostly a southerly. thats probably good for narooma, and dangerous as hell for people on the other side of the front. the air is heavy with ash. occasional dry lightning.
power has been out an hour or two after glitching for a while. i guess those transformers they lost in the snowys have pulled the network down.

I no longer have patience with CLIMATE science deniers. They and the fossil fuel industry have delayed #ClimateAction for three decades. Now, my country, my second homeland, is on fire. All of it. Every single state. Precious wildlife vanquished. Human life lost. Homes destroyed.
2/ Forests devastated. Kangaroo Island is burning to the ground, along w/ some of the world’s oldest, most unique, irreplaceable species. Our fires are NOT normal. They are driven by global warming and #ClimateChange. World, please hear our cry: We are the canary in the coal mine
3/ Australia is a warning about the #ClimateCrisis gripping our planet. Deniers, step aside and let the rest of us do the work to reverse the damage humans have done to our environment. Lives are at risk. I, for one, am no longer standing by while you stifle efforts to reign
