Australia: international campaign
To fight fires, we must fight against this government. El gobierno australiano y la supuesta oposición política están en completa negación sobre el impacto que el cambio climático ya está teniendo en el país. For while the Prime Minister and the Liberal government denied any connection between climate change and the current disaster, Labor Party makes every effort to ingratiate himself with the mining industry and fossil fuels. La clase dominante de Australia está especialmente ligada a algunos de los contaminadores mundiales más criminales. El magnitud de los incendios que ahora queman a Australia no tiene precedentes. This level of destruction of ecological systems, Animal life and communities never before seen. Many communities and tracts of forest and land will burn in the coming months, and the risk of a prolonged summer hell seems likely.
These fires were a predictable result of global warming. For more than a decade, fronts wet and cool climate that previously brought rains, They have been moving more to the south. This has long been an expected outcome of the impact of global warming on local weather patterns. There is no guarantee that these rains return. This does not mean anything about the increasing desertification of major river systems and the continuing decline of biodiversity, and its impact.
The social impact of these fires is tremendous. Toxic smoke has covered an area as large as Western Europe and in the case of Sydney and Canberra now, the health impacts probably will last many years. Air pollution Sydney has been dangerously high for weeks, and Canberra by while the city ranks as the quality of the air polluted world.
As usual, neoliberal government and political parties have other priorities. Government spending is to promote "investment" and get capitalist profits, not to fight fires and help workers and communities.
Fire services are unfortunately fire sub financed and unprepared; often they rely on poorly trained volunteers with few resources. While some firefighters have had to work with paper masks, the government donates $12 Trillions of dollars every year to fossil fuel companies. The army is funded for wars in the Middle East and to capture and imprison refugees, but it can only mobilize the necessary urgency to evacuate communities under threat of life.
To fight fires, we must fight against this government. Morrison - as their global counterparts, Bolsonaro, Pinera, Trump - has to go! We have no possibility to prevent disastrous impacts of global warming while neoliberal govern our lives.
The cost of these fires is impossible to understand at this time. But we know that compensation and massive investment will be needed to regenerate forests, rebuild homes and infrastructure, you improve fire services and support to communities affected health.
The government and the fossil fuel industry must pay! We should not have to organize street collections and collections of EU funds: Corporations that have caused these fires should pay!
Let's fight the neoliberal governments that destroy our planet!
