Two Australian states are bracing for a day of "catastrophic" risk as firefighters battle over 100 deadly active bushfires that have produced clouds of smoke seen as far away as New Zealand.
Thousands of people are in the paths of the blazes in the states of Queensland and New South Wales, which have both declared a state of emergency.

@Jason G clearly you don’t know this but global warming is an effect of climate change, jeez you must be terrible at your job if you don’t know this stuff, I’m way above you mate.
V3X Actually it is two very different things but you can’t wrap your head around it. Lol so no response to the FACTS I just wrote in my previous comment??? Lol thought so.
@Jason G climate change is change of climate over a long term, and global warming is… Well global warming, your ignorant and should be fired considering you lack of knowledge in this
@Jason G But any way, we are getting off topic, humans caused global warming and climate change is stronger because of it, end
Try and stay safe Australia😞❤💕❤from California
Thanks a lot sadly 3 people are all ready gone 🙁 and so many houses are gone ,don’t make me the mention the poor koalas 🐨
@Lilly the Evil chicken nugget yw😔
Terry Jackson to be honest I wish I could chuck you in to the flame and watch u burn
Just stop
We will be fine but the koalas won’t be tho
@CAMERON WAS HERE thats so sad .
I’m in Newcastle NSW, smack bang in the CATASTROPHIC area, and I’m on the coastline. We were placed on water restrictions weeks ago. We’re dry af here 🙁
@AmyM& Beauty Different fires, different fuels, different wind patterns and disbursement snotty. Some smoke mainly goes up and at ground level aren’t horrible, terrain features can affect if the smoke disperses or thickens.
So, do you still feel like Superior Sheila?
@Adam Colorado here, mountainous and forests. (5 climate zones) that’s too close! I pray that as of this post you all aren’t homeless!
@AmyM& Beauty the sky is legit filled with smoke making it hard for many people to breathe. Like I’m from mt druitt and the sky was fully filled with smoke and the closest fire to us was on in castle hill which is like 45 min to 1hr away from mt druitt
poor koalas, nooooooo!
@Marchalis Van Probably 50% of coastal koalas wil have been wiped out.
@Lilac Lizard Gum trees have always been combustible like this, helped along through evolution via Aboriginals controlled burning over the last 60,000 years
@zhukie The leaves are highly combustible, but Aboriginal people burnt so frequently that there wasn’t enough heat in the fire to let it “crown”, therefore the leaves very rarely ignited in the past.
btw fun bit of trivia, it’s even longer than 60,000 years ago, European scientists dismiss any evidence that doesn’t fit with what they have decided they know eg when humans left Africa, but pollen evidence says firestick farming started 130,000 years ago in Australia https://www.jstor.org/stable/2398672?seq=1#page_scan_tab_contents so the plant & animal evolution is double the time you suggested & 4 times longer than the numbers many put out there!
Keeping my hopes up for all my mates in Sydney and Brisbane!

go watch freindlyjordies, he just put up a great video on the current situation
There should be an international response to Australia given the nature of the severity of the fires, we should not ever wait and need to see smoke from space. stay safe Australia!
Cheryl Sibson there sending firefighters from Canada
@Not XpertThief ? that’s fabulous and thanks for letting me know. I’m not in the Kamloops area and did not know. Way to go guys, and thank you!
KAMLOOPS (NEWS 1130) – As wildfires are tearing up southeastern Australia, it looks like they’ve reached out to the BC Wildfire Service to take a look at how things are going.
Fire Information Officer Kyla Fraser tells Radio NL in Kamloops that Canada will know soon if resources will be asked to go there.https://www.citynews1130.com/2019/11/13/b-c-prepares-to-australia/ help works both ways, right?
@Amber Johnson hey, can i get an update from you
Koalas have gone extinct
I live in Australia and koalas have gone extinct but at least we don’t have to go to school because of the smoke
*Ask Trump for advice. He’s the expert on fires and rakes*
CNN is a Scam ! Plain and Simple! FDA and FCC should pull the plug on the corrupt organization!
Nobody knows more about wildfires than Trump
Trump like Australia coz Assange exposed Hillary Biden and the deep state.
For the record Sky news is run by Murdoch. It’s the Fox of Australia.
@Lilac Lizard fair enough. They do have their moments. And I do watch them. But every now and again theres a Today Tonight level of drama and theres still far to much unnecessary stirring and bending of the facts to get a story for my liking.
@jeremy ray I am Aussie also. I was replying to a USA person.
Yes our Media is not perfect but it is 100 times as balanced as USA Media.
They blatantly take one side or the other. Ours can lean one way but not be completely one sided.
From what I have seen the Reporting on the fires has been very good. Overall our Politicians also except the Leader of the Greens.

@Peter Newbranch our political system is different than the U.S. go over to watch friendlyjordies to understand more about what is actually happening in our country. Also the liberals in Australia are the conservative party.
hence the bullying and insulting
Sky news again. The fox news of australia.
We hit 48c last summer down in Melb Vic, hottest day I’ve experienced in my 47 years. it’s been getting hotter each year & winters milder, I wonder if we’ll crack 50 this year… It’s stunning how pollies say little ol us changing our ways won’t change anything but then they always live by the slogan at election time ‘every vote counts’.
Guy Barwood never thought about that, very good point. This drought is so long and heartbreaking. I wonder when it will ever end.
Rich people singing “we didn’t start the fire” while holding a lit match.
Ripping off Billy Joel song without acknowledging him.
@NDFOOTBALL Liberals in Australia are conservatives
Funny that it’s mainly middle class and lower middle class committing arson and disobeying firebans which are causing a lot of the fires
Australian weather conditions are always dry and hot but never in my years of living have I seen it like this , hundreds of schools have been shut down and there are 80kmh winds paired with 40 degree temperatures and in multiple suburbs you can’t see anything but the colour red and it’s genuinely scary, it’s not nice to see your home country burning.
😞
@Annabelle St Laurent And its not even ‘summer’ yet
Ben Kelly. Perhaps you are young – these things have also happened in the past. Beware fake news!
Aliens are watching and saying.” They finally did it. They burned down their entire planet. Idiots!”

Watch my video on Trump till have a laugh
Watch the video: “Who profits from “climate change”?” (by Shawn Anderson).
…ummmmm. Who’s the idiot again ?
I hope everyone who lives in australia will stay safe!
Thanks for this. It was terrible. There was a fire 900 metres from my house and the worst part is that it is basically always arson
I don’t want too
Gee the Extinction Rebellion were right this whole time 😝 Let’s sign those papers now
Some firies were going to get fuel for the engines and the government cards were being declined so they were buying fuel for the fire engines out of their own pockets. Those fire fighters are cheered as hero’s when we have town parades here.
The political debate during this has been idiotic. It’s been terrifying, hundreds of schools were closed, and there are still terrible fires burning now with more hot weather on the way. And our summer doesn’t start until December!
Welcome to Australia. 🔥 🇦🇺 🕷
*JESUS WARNED ABOUT ALL THIS, ITS PURPOSE IS TO BRING PPL TO REPENTANCE N THEREFORE BE SAVED!!! REPENT AUSTRALIA REPENT BELIEVE ON JESUS HOLY NAME N BE SAVED THY IN THY HOUSEHOLD ACTS **16:31*
Thanks to everyone in the states for your thoughts and prays, and a big shout out to our rural fire services for battling day and night to try and contain these fires.
As a person who lived in syd for more than 4 years, i hope everyone stays safe, prays from korea🙏
