I use to chat with Browncoats from down under in the chatroom a few years ago, I hope they're OK.

America loves a winner!


In CA, drought, poor land management, lightning strikes, a few random a-hole arsonists and … eucalyptus trees, which aren't native to the land, help spread massive fires.

Australia has drought, poor land management, lightning strikes, a few random asshole arsonists and ... eucalyptus trees. And not just a few trees, dotted here and there, but entire forests of eucalyptus trees.

Thanks for posting whozit. I’ve been thinking of Magonsdaughter - hope she is ok too. What’s happening there is hard to wrap my brain around.

Rupert Murdoch’s Australian outlets have committed all manner of sins in their coverage of the country’s devastating bushfires. Led by The Australian broadsheet, publications in his News Corp empire have:

1) Falsely claimed the fires are “nothing new.” (A record 4.9 million hectares of New South Wales have been burned, eclipsing the previous highest of 3.5 million in 1974-5.)

2) Falsely peddled the argument that arson is a major contributor to the crisis, including publishing misleading information about the number of arson-related bushfire arrests, and downplayed the role of climate change.

3) Falsely claimed environmentalists have deterred authorities from preemptively burning areas in cool periods to stop the fire spreading. (The Australian Greens Party supports the policy.)

This week, a senior News Corp employee sent an all-staff email calling for the falsehoods to stop. Responding to an email by executive chairman Michael Miller that detailed initiatives to cope with the fires and leave arrangements for staff affected by them, Emily Townsend, a commercial finance manager, wrote: “This does not offset the impact News Corp reporting has had over the last few weeks.”

“I have been severely impacted by the coverage of News Corp publications in relation to the fires, in particular the misinformation campaign that has tried to divert attention away from the real issue which is climate change to rather focus on arson (including misrepresenting facts),” she wrote, according to the Guardian. “I find it unconscionable to continue working for this company, knowing I am contributing to the spread of climate change denial and lies. The reporting I have witnessed in the Australian, the Daily Telegraph and the Herald Sun is not only irresponsible, but dangerous and damaging to our communities and beautiful planet that needs us more than ever now to acknowledge the destruction we have caused and start doing something about it.”

Goodbye, kind world (George Monbiot) - In common with all those generations which have contemplated catastrophe, we appear to be incapable of understanding what confronts us.

It's sad that Australia's corporate overlords are so willing to destroy the very land they depend on.

So many rare species wiped out. We're on the list, too.
