Fiddling While Australia Burns
While leaders prevaricate on climate issues, the toll is growing – this time in the form of devastating bushfires.

As of today, bushfires along Australia’s east coast have burnt through more than 1.6 million hectares of land, killing six people and destroying more than 300 homes. Former fire chiefs say the worst is yet to come and that this is only the beginning of what could be the worst bushfire season in Australian history.
As the fires raged and thousands of Australians fled their homes for safer ground, a report released by the Lancet medical journal found that the Australian federal government’s negligence toward climate change has left Australians at significant risk of illness through heat, fire, and extreme weather conditions and elevated suicide rates at higher temperatures.
The report concluded that “Australia remains at significant risk of declines in health due to climate change, and that substantial and sustained national action is urgently required to prevent this.”
The report’s timely release is just the latest exposé into the government’s reluctance to accept a changing climate and yet another warning for Australia’s leaders to ignore.
