On EBSCO I searched Australia just looking for all different types of things to find. One thing that showed up over and over was the fires that have been appearing throughout different areas of Australia. The death rate has rose to above 200 from weekend bush fires in southeast Australia, making it the worst natural disaster on the continent in 110 years. The fires that have been appearing are said to be caused from global warming and the raising of temperatures. As the fires become more and more severe, i am wondering why many people are still living in the area? If this was happening where i lived i would be sure to get out of the area as soon as possible. In the article it talks about costs raising so much for firefighters due to so many fires lately. The fires are so unpredictable too described in the articles. They appear and start out of nowhere. Why arent people doing more to help this situation in Australia?What is exactly the answer to fixing this? Global warming is going to start effecting people everywhere, and not just in Australia. Are people not concerned about global warming because it is not effecting our generation? In generations from now, global warming will have a huge impact on where people live, and the activities the can do. These fires in Australia are becoming know ass "Mass Murders" because of the effect they have been having on the population.

That is crazy how all these fires are happening. I do believe that global warming could be causing all these fires. With the increase of all these different gases I am sure it is because of global warming. That is weird that Australia has been increasing for the past 110 years. It just makes me think what will it be like in the next 10 years. I would think that would be hard for firefighters because they have to go out and try to control these massive fires. I could not do that! I like how you brought in global warming in the end to wrap everything up. This was a wonderful blog! Good Job!
