Australia is on fire. Again. Happens every year around this time, but this year is worse. A lot worse, with smoke and haze covering large parts of the eastern seaboard. The effect of the fires can be felt in New Zealand where the smoke is causing blood red sunsets. Meanwhile, the Prime Minister of Australia has briefly offered a prayer in support. The deadly fires have killed hundreds of drop bears while scourging the countryside across several states.

    How about the minimum before that, in 1998:

    It's summer in Australia, and that means bushfire season.

    This almost annual event has been particularly destructive this year, the latest casualty being the west coast capital of Perth.

    Maybe if these people would listen to science instead of politically motivated BS they could prepare better for the particularly bad bushfire seasons.

    We're too busy beatifying St. Greta the Sullen.
