Woke up this morning and checked news/social media per usual and just see a ton of photos and videos of the current state of Australia. Looks absolutely insane over there:

Australia looks apocalyptic

Not sure what she means by "No-one is talking about it". It's all over the news.
But yeah it's pretty horrific looking. Never seen that shade of Red in the sky before.

That's insane, the first photo looks to have a red filter but it is actually real.

We all need to commit to doing whatever we can to limit our environmental impact, our own survival depends on it.
Could be some added saturation in the edit, but otherwise it seems pretty accurate compared to the rest we've seen thus far.

It's fitting that Australia is in the new decade already, more and more places are going to look like this going forward.
Heartbreaking to imagine the shortened lifespans we're going to suffer from due to events like this becoming more common on top of the immediate loss of life and unbelievable damage.
Yep. In the grand scale of this all, we're just at the first step, too. It's not too late to head off the worst of anthropogenic climate change, but we damn well need to start taking aggressive action if we want to make any dent in this.

This new Blade Runner movie is looking really grim. This might be Roger Deakin's most ambitious project yet.
I'm really wondering why there isn't more international support.

Well, it is sort of an apocalypse. This is nothing compared with what's coming, climate change will shape our world to a different one.
Nothing will be done. Events like this will become more common, but because it won't be every year, or constantly, life will move on and see it as a one off. This year's 'catastrophic' temperature model ends up as next year's 'best case'. The frequency will grow, the intensity will grow, but again, since climate events happen in different places, different countries, no single pair of eyes will see it all worsening. Until it's too late. The mass migrations, the famines, the droughts, the wars.
We're fucked.
We're fucked.
now imagine this in happening in very crowded countries, which is what will probably be the case in our lifetimes.
The future is now.
Sometimes I wonder what 2050 will look like.
The answer is more and more events like this, glaciers gone and a society refusing change.
Conservatives are the same all over this fucking planet.
That's Australia's Emissions minister in the 3rd image.

Yup fuck the people and secure money and opportunities for themselves then fuck off with the millions they made with the suffering of others.
Sad thing is - we knew this was coming.
From back in early September:
We are the proverbial frog in the boiling pot. And all of this is only 1C degree warming (global average that is). It's going to get exponentially worse before the century closes.

A volunteer fire fighter died last night when a fire tornado picked up his 8 tonne truck, flipped it and threw it back on the ground.
This is the worst sentence i've read in a while. Poor fire fighter.
