There is no sign of fire in the picture. Could just be road kill.

And exactly how is the “world” suppose to make it rain and end the periodic droughts Australia has been subject to since ever since it existed?

Exactly what is “the world” suppose to do about local arsonists?

Going after the arsonists goes against blaming it on Global Warming.

Prosecute the arsonists and quit pretending its a result of man-made global warming.

I can’t look. Nothing upsets me more than the harm if innocent, helpless animals and innocent, helpless humans. Praying all in danger find saftey. I don’t know how anyone could endure such devastation without the Lord to lean on.

What are we supposed to do? Give half our income to Greta Thunberg?

Butt out, kid. Greta already owns the franchise. Come up with a new scam to get media attention.

Eat organic quinoa and bean bowls!

Send $20 to Elizabeth Warren!

Wear hemp clothing!

For God’s sake, do something to show you are down with the environment, and stuff!

Same here.

Yeah. Greenery in background, unburned tinder all over ground.
Animals die. It happens. Was working in my back yard last summer when a dove just fell dead out of a tree, no apparent cause.

Yes, there are/were massive fires in Australia lately. That’s what happens when you live in a naturally arid hot region. Sometimes drought happens, and fires can get out of control. The wallabies and koalas and kangaroos and etc have survived thru many such infernos before; yes, many suffered and died, the species lived on.

Yes, there is ‘mass devastation’ in Australia. What’s depicted in the photos isn’t.

I looked. Certainly not a happy picture, but has nothing to do with the infernos.

The 2 photos of 2 of the 234 arsonists I’ve seen look to be muzzies.

“urged the world to wake up to the mass devastation in Australia.”

Here's a clue: I care about Australia the same way you care about the USA.
