Australian bushfire update

[Catherine]

I know the numbers. When I think about the individual animals trapped in the fire I feel sick. When I think about the enormous loss of so many animals I am overwhelmed with grief. I admit I feel annoyed at people who are whining about things like their coffee not being hot enough. This is a tragedy that should touch all of us. We are all responsible for it. Climate change and its consequences are the result of all our actions now and in the past. We don't have time for trivial complaints. We need to act to stop things from getting worse. 

We thought the Amazon rainforest burning was the worst thing possible. Now we know there is much worse.
