The Devastating Impact of the Australian Bushfires

Australia On Fire: In the grip of a bushfire disaster, many thousands of Australians have been evacuated by air from their homes. As the fires rage on, it may take months for them to return home. But there's another hidden toll to this emergency - the devastating impact on Australia's unique native wildlife.

ABC Australia - Ref. 7748

[@MolltyChannel]

No matter how much shit we take, we Australians, dig deep and work hard. You can not keep us down, not even a wall of fire.

[@zuriman86]

You mean, we can dig stuff out of the ground, rear animals and farm? Soooooo about the same level of achievement as, the romans, the greeks, the egyptians, and every other 3000 year old civilisation could? Sooooooo.... 3000 years later and all Australia has to show for its self is still digging up dirt, animal husbandry and farming. I am guessing your definition of "hard work" is using your muscles to dig up dirt right, rather than using your brain to innovate or actually create something with a little value added? You are right though, aussies do "dig deep", but thats about all they can do.... dig.

[@romb4649]

@Dante Alighieri You UTTER FWIT! Yes, a handful of arsewipe losers (who have been caught, & will COP THEIR OWN BACK.. on the 'inside') .. lit a FEW of the HUNDREDS of fires. Not the rest of us, & us 'tree huggers' did NOT say NO to.. 'back burning' & fire reduction & PREVENTION. Do you even know the Ozzie Bush? Clearly not. We said no to EXTREMELY HOT FIRES, that are done too quickly & get out of control & TURN INTO fires that ignite everything in their path BEFORE the flames are even touching them! Do some research! We want to be able to get in & remove any wildlife FIRST. SOOOO much more to it than just that, but it'll just fall on ignorant ears. Worry about (& DO something) about your own country, if you're just going to spout regurgitated BS & misinformation mate! Bet you're completely unaware that certain TREES imperative to our native fauna.. become STERILE from extremely HOT FIRES. They do not regenerate. Our indigenous brothers n sisters know how to do it properly, and have been working with (TRYING TO anyway) this JOKE of a so called government. Amazing how many ignorants comment on our country, that know NOTHING. Go do some research, please!! SMH 🙇🙇🙇

The Aussie spirit has never been stronger. Our Aussie bushfire victims need our strength... And our goodness. I am so proud to be an Australian, but so pissed of with our Government. But truth is the Australian Bush Fires 2020 did not start with the Morrison Government but I sure as heell hope it ends. No proper plans in place ignorance towards climate change and our longstanding drought affecting has farmers are all contributing factors to our fires I believe ... And then tonight I read 185 Arsonists have been charged in the past 12 months. It is incomprehensible to me that another human being gets so much joy from lighting fires that cause mass scale devastation to both my fellow Aussies Mates and our wonderful Australian WildLife.

Drought, not enough rain during the Winter months, for long periods of years. No Autumn or Spring rains, long hot dry Summer days, lasting weeks at a time with temperatures over 40 degrees Celsius. Dry lightening strikes and ratbag humans lighting fires on purpose. All catastrophic, only people living in Australia know how devastating bushfires are to our communities.

Foxxyy Mama well said don’t forget our indigenous rangers not being able to traditionally burn for three years building up fuel for catastrophic conditions

kenneth klement yes so very true our indigenous Rangers know exactly how to take care of their land. There are too many government people that think they know how to manage our country and really have no idea what they are doing. So sad to have lost so much of our beautiful nature.

[@chantalvallerant9202]

Kimm 65 yes hopefully, but not likely that the government will listen. They only care about themselves and lining their own pockets. Yes slapping sense into them would be wonderful, but I wouldn't waste my energy on them. They will only do what they want and not care about us anyway.

I thought the Fort McMurray and Penticton fires were bad up here in Canada. Yes they were the worst wildfires in Canada but they pale in comparison to what you have down there.

Not quite sure what NATO has to do with this. Australia is not a NATO member. If you're trying to say that NATO allies are not aiding Australia, then you'd be incorrect...while I can't speak to every NATO nation, I do know that there are American firefighters currently in Australia fighting the fires.

I have family in Canberra, Sydney, Wololongong and I am in Melbourne - we all have been affected by the smoke in the air. Both Canberra and Melbourne have at times had the worst air quality in the world as they are covered in smoke from the fires. The last few days I have been trying not to go outside it is so bad. And just thinking of all the precious wild-life we have lost, it's utterly heartbreaking.

I’ve seen a few comments that are disrespecting our country and say that our society is to blame for these fires, you need to do research you have no idea how much pain these people are in. Yes our native animals are dying we are trying our hardest to save as many as we can but humans lives can’t be saved aswell. Before you comment saying anything about our country do research, many things our government, councils wanna do we can’t control we know that they are doing some stupid things but it takes a lot to convince them that. All these family’s are trying so hard, starting from nothing and understanding that some of their family and friends have passed. It’s all hard for us and the thing is no one out of Australia cares, when the fires started no one knew until billions of animals had died everyone noticed and took action but they never cared when we said that 3 hero’s had died and others. We can’t predict the fires, thank you to everyone that is helping and sending prayers but I just had to get this off my chest.

The preparedness to fight fires and the responsiveness of the administration to a natural calamity arises a serious of questions.

Just terrible. 🙏

[@shallowcomics7565]

Russian Métropolitan what are you talking about? This has to do with Australia and their fires. No one else. Right now it’s a terrible thing for them. People and animals are dying from wildfires.

I feel for the people and the animals.

I do wonder if the PM cries watching this or any other politician. South Coast NSW here we lived through it, and it's still going.

Everything burned to the ground except the highly flammable material surrounding her pool (untouched). What is going on? Is this a miracle or are these fires guided by a selection process?

Great job Kerry that's the way it should be straight to the victims not to organisations or use the donation as administrative costs

It's amazing how yellow the atmosphere looks after the fire has gone by. It looks like sulphur. I've seen the sky look like that when a very bad storm like a hurricane is about to hit. What about the aboriginal people? Not a word about them.

The feel the burden of over-consumption.... the wrath of economy. And we can only blame ourselves....

[@kennethklement1698]

Willem de Zeeuw yes l agree but this was not so much preventable but controllable our indigenous rangers the ones that were not layed off have been telling us for 3 years that a fire storm was coming because they were not aloud to backburn properly and the fuel on the ground was building up to the extreme but don’t listen to the black man hey

[@willemdezeeuw5918]

@@kennethklement1698 True, white people are in general to arrogant to listen to indigeous wishdom. On the other side, we warm the planet a lot and that doesn't make it better...

[@nicolle_2944]

No, we should only blame the government and Greens groups for not listening to the Indigenous people and landowners who have all warned of this for decades. They have closed up National Parks and let this fuel build up. This has nothing to do with consumption or any other green nonsense. The green movement is responsible for millions of native fauna's death.

[@nicolle_2944]

@@willemdezeeuw5918 I think you mean Politicians and green movements are too arrogant to listen to Indigenous people.

[@tkawenga6588]

In my opinion 10 years from now, if it keeps getting worse, Australia gonna be almost unlivable. Here in Sydney, it was fucking insufferable for weeks the worst it's ever been. Once it hits 40c it's just unbearable and it's starting to hit 40c regularly now.

Humanity normally see nature as nurturer but sometimes nature behaves differently and that looks like what is happening in Australia.

[@Verisetti]

I heard somewhere that some fire was started by @@hats. If that is the case that should be a life sentence. Probably 75% were caused by those animals caught behind the fences and no way to jump over. Is there any way to make the fence line that could be dropped from some control point?

[@leesteele666]

Its so bloody sad our government got a lot of blood on there hands.

If it were possible I'd happily let someone stay with me untill they're on their feet again,but I couldn't live any further away from Australia, I'm in uk,you can see in their eyes, it's broken people no surprise, it's enough to break anyone 😢

[@sahilkhanozturrk2103]

is it raining there now?

[@robburdack4361]

We would neeed weeks of steady rain....as hot as the fire fronts are the little rain we have had has done little to nothing mostly evaporating before hitting the ground..... It has bought a few cooler days but after friday we will be back against the wall again

[@sahilkhanozturrk2103]

i hop hope that it will rain deeply

[@saturnGEEK]

Heavy rains right now would create another devastating emergency: Flash Flooding. The ground is phenomenally dry and in many areas may not be able to absorb any of the rain effectively. Consistent light rains for a couple of months would do more benefit for drought and fire stricken areas than any heavy rain.
