How to help victims of Australia's apocalyptic wildfires
« on: January 10, 2020, 09:51:47 pm »
Devastating bushfires have been spreading across Australia for months, and they show no signs of slowing down. Millions of acres have burned, destroying about 2,000 homes and killing at least 25 people.


It is estimated that more than half a billion wild animals have perished in the flames — a number that is expected to exponentially increase. Entire towns have evacuated to the shores and volunteer firefighters have left their families and careers behind to fight the flames around the clock.

Conservative Prime Minister Scott Morrison has been widely criticized for failing to take action against the climate crisis. As Australia attempts to battle this unprecedented national crisis, organizations need all the help they can get.

"Conservative Prime Minister Scott Morrison has been widely criticized for failing to take action against the climate crisis."

Pray tell, what "action" might Mr. Morrison have taken?
What about the "actions" of the 200 or so arsonists that have been caught...?
