We're curious how much coverage this issue is getting around the world - let us know where you're watching from, to send a message to our Australian viewers letting them know that the world cares. And to all our Australian followers, we're thinking of you!
Sending my condolences and prayers from Greece

I'm watching from Australia. Thank you guys for helping to bring attention to these fires. Even awareness helps.
I’m watching from London
PORTUGAL CARALHO
I'm glad that bigger social media influences are spreading awareness
- thank you so much from the land down under
Appreciate your comment! Stay safe :)
@@AsapSCIENCE will do it means the world to me that you replied and liked my comment I have been a big fan for a couple of years now and your help will not go unnoticed
One of the good function of the social media.
Awareness is nothing without action, let’s change this ! ❤️🤞🏻
I am the 666th like
Australia already has the most venomous creatures in the world and now the wildfires are getting even worse. Whoever is in Australia watching this, I hope you guys stay safe over there
Thanks! (I don't want to sound like an asshole about this, but we call them bushfires)
Damn you're even here too.
It’s ok all the venomous creatures are dead now...
We appreciate it!!!
@@Wombattlr - I thought bushfires are what people get after a one night stand... 😜
**Australia is on fire**
Scott: Lemme give you a handshake
I feel you’d get more likes on this if there was more international coverage
Also Scomo: Running a country is overrated *Slurps drink from coconut*
Scott: How good's coal??
*Scomo goes to Kangaroo island where 2 people have died in the fires*
Scomo: “wElL aT lEaSt No OnE hAs DiEd”
He is such a bad PM he can not even remember when people have died smh
1 billion animals dead. That’s literally mind boggling & extremely devastating.
Yes I feel depressed
m.czcams.com/video/ZkdMGfJz-wU/video.html
Dragon Queen that’s nothing compared to the animal industry. And that’s just annually.
1 billion animals dead, *excluding frogs and insects.*
With all types of animals considered, this number would most likely be in the tens of billions.
@@infinity-hs4qh the animal industry isn't natural wildlife. We farm them. Stupid comparison. We're talking about ecologies here
Been waiting for this. I hope this gets to a lot of people and they finally understand how big this issue is.
Same! I do think a lot of people care, but hopefully this helps inform a few more people.
@I love Angelique Yes, it's very bad. BBC news has some maps that show the extent of the fires www.bbc.com/news/world-australia-50951043
I've been aware of the problem for more than a week I think, but even if I'm aware, there's not a lot that I can do. It's not like the australian governement need anything I can provide to help fight the fire.
Yeah, I wish there was something impactful people outside of Australia could do about it...
Settle down, its not THAT bad.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Thursday_bushfires
hold up... did y’all just say Australian fire fighters warned the government about how bad these fires were gonna get and the government just went 🤷🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️ jeez
Victoria Marker yeah and now our prime minister is in Hawaii on holiday. So yeah. Government is the worst.
Our government has been warned year after year, we've definitely seen an increase in hot weather and drought over the past few years, particularly in the country side, but never as devastating as this. But as Chel said, Scott Morrison went on a holiday after our crisis had peaked, and even went so far as to say that our volunteer firefighters, which is majority of the people fighting our fires at the moment, wanted to be there. These people have been crowd funding for their own gear due to lack of support from the government
The Australian green party has managed to win a court case that banned backburning (an aboriginal tradition that exsisted for 60 thousand years, and was definitely a working ecosystem because of the land scape colonialists discovered back in 1700s, but this tradition has mostly fallen out of practice since most of the land is owned by the white man). And since we didn't take preventative measures during winter to burn most of the vegetation off, the fires gets more fuel to burn.
That kind of information is so frustrating. Governments are large and powerful enough to do something about these sorts of issues but ignore it on a daily basis. American government does the same thing. So frustrating.
Scomos a dickhead
THIS should be trending. THIS should be all over Instagram instead of the accounts posting to get followers. THIS is the best formative video on Australia's fires.
As an Australian watching this, I would like to say a big thank you to everyone at ASAP science for speaking up about this issue in a factual and informative way. Bush fires are something every Australian has seen before, the 2013 Dunalley bushfires in Tasmania, the 2009 Black Saturday Bushfires in Victoria, the 2017 bushfires in New South Wales, like in the past we must all band together to help one another through these difficult times.
Agreed
Please dont let anything stop you. I mean yeah things happen but we definitely can win this. We are not few and we are growing in number. Even if we cant live up to see that happen our children will have the opportunity if we teach them how to be friendly with nature. So please dont stop being human
Amen
2020 has just begun and the world is starting to look like hell
it's been that way for a long time
@@mikudayoooooo 4.5 billion years to be exact
@@postmorton2493 I think loving on a of gas and dust would be pretty bad too.
Deny climate change deniers.
god himself umm... this started by arson... and this is fire season for Australia. Dude... Australia has always been hot, even before humans started “polluting” the Earth... there are also 600 trillion trees and only 3% of the Earths land mass is industrialized. So no. We are going to be okay.
Here in Australia, our sky is orange, it's always a sunset!
Gotta be optimistic... But seriously that sucks. Wishing you the best from Canada.
Hope this situation ends soon.. Please stay safe
The sky has been black at my place for a week. Hopefully moving to grey/pink soon : )
@@Sophia-cd2ci You may want to seriously consider living with friends somewhere until that happens...
Zion Does Stuff but luckily it’s the school holidays in Sydney and we don’t have to suffer as much if we went to school
That image of the koala gasping for air and water...breaks my heart...
When I was a kid we said "summer is starting earlier each year"
Today you say "Fire is starting earlier each year." (1:12)

Coming from someone who is from Melbourne and has asthma, this information is very precious, so many thanks for all of your prayers 🙏
I hope you and your loved ones are healthy and safe ❤
I also live in Melbourne
we lose up to dozen lives to hayfever in a season btw,
I really hope this ends soon. Wishing you the best! Stay safe, and hydrated!
Me, who lives in Brisbane: *Heavy sweating*
Viewing from the state of Missouri and my heart aches to see the devastation, for humans and animals. Please continue to post updates; as MSM appears to avoid the harsh reality.
One billion animals have died :( Jesus. That is so awful :(

My sister is currently in Australia, and is pregnant with her first child. I am very concerned for her, as well as the environment.
Nothing will happen to her n child bro dont worry god bless her ♥️
@@RickbOss26 She has to come back to England after the birth in May anyway, but hopefully she'll stay healthy and safe until then :)
As long as she wears a mask and stay within the cities she will be fine i think
Where is she?
The media are making out that the whole of Australia is on fire, most of us are fine and no threat of fire.
@@lifeisshortdontwasteitread2830 5 months. But she has Hashimoto's from the pregnancy and has been advised not to fly.
I didn’t know the severity of the fires until u compared it to the amazon fires.. thats terrifying
Well you’re ducking dumb then aren’t you
I know i thought it was only half the country when i first saw it . But my geography skills are poor and i only thought Australia is the size of france.ummmmm no i was wrong both ways. The whole country is on fire! And the country is half the size of russia
The fires last years hadn't been particularly catastrophic in the Amazon; we had already seen worse ones when actual draughts happened.
The problem was that they were due to actual arson and the perspective of farmers of getting no pushiment from the government, which in our current chaotic far right president was incentivizing them to do.
JJJassy it’s not the whole country and it’s not even half. Australia is huge, a lot of land has been burnt but in no way is half the country on fire.
@@jjjassy the whole country isn't on fire, it's the south east, I'm up north and it's been raining for 2 weeks straight
I’m in australia, and it’s horrible.

Don’t worry Prawnz, it’ll get better.
I hope.
Yup
I feel you. I'm a fellow Aussie and yea. It's Hell.
prawnz is it true that a satellite image of Australia is literally orange/red in some parts?
Aussie here - thank you so much for using your platform to spread awareness about the fires. I have been struggling healthwise because of the fires and am concerned I may have developed some sort of respiratory issue... to people out there - if you can afford it, please do not offer your thoughts and prayers, please donate. We desperately need help.

Just blows air and make the fire worse...

The most upsetting thing about this fire is the loss of a lot of Regenerative Agroforestry. Australia is the birthplace of permaculture, which is the best system to date in combating climate change, world hunger and fuel crisis.
And had Australia not reduced fire control management, like controlled burns, this wouldn't be happening.
@@QarthCEO While controlled burns are an important part of the defense strategy, they're not a magic bullet. Fire chiefs have said as much. In fact the Victorian fire chief has said that it's an "emotional load of rubbish" to suggest that if we had only done more controlled burns we'd be ok.
This is a narrative being put out by right wing politicians like Barnaby Joyce to try and distract attention away from them. From their de-funding of public services like parks and fire services, from their disregard of fire chiefs' warning as referenced in the video, and from their denial of climate change.
Xaro Xhoan Daxos You mean it wouldn’t have happened if 180 people didn’t commit arson
@@Slipknot2RIP 180 people didnt commit arsen. It's a bold faced lie.
www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2020/01/08/fake-news-spreads-australian-wildfires-inaccurate-report-184/
"NSW police statistics show 24 individuals have been arrested for deliberately lighting bushfires during the current fire season."
www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2020/jan/08/police-contradict-claims-spread-online-exaggerating-arsons-role-in-australian-bushfires
@@QarthCEO Australia have not reduced fire control management in the scope of a legislative move as many people are claiming. However there are 2 factors that are impacting the ability to perform controlled burns. It's climate factors and funding factors
1) The window for being able to perform hazard reduction burns keeps getting smaller and smaller, Queensland have only been able to perform about 50% of planned burns within the last 4 years
2) Funding to the fire services (which are state run) have been seen. The labor government in QLD cut their fire funding by 13 million this year, NSW by 100 Million. These services generally recieve approximately 500 million or so dollars of state funding, so in the case of NSW, almost a 20% cut in funding. Data for Victoria is older but saw a slight increase in 2017.
Also, if the look at the absolute shitshow the Liberal government in NSW has caused with the murray-darling basin and the drought affects this has placed upon NSW especially, and then downstream to states like VIC, it's pretty clear this reduction is a fuckup by state and federal Liberal governments, hence why Scott Morrison is being attacked, and rightfully so.
Coming from someone who is from Sydney, Australia- this is amazing to finally get some coverage of how bad our fires are. Our country is on fire, we’re already experiencing so much and pray to God that these fires calm down with the small amount of rain we just had.
I really hope the Australia fires stop. I hope you stay safe!
I never thought an asap science video would make me cry. I feel so lucky as an Australian that my community isn't directly impacted by fires, and so upset that so many people I know are affected.
Although the forest will grow back, there are some rare species where the fires were. I wonder how many are gone forever.
Barluuu a lot of the bush land will struggle to grow back because most of it wasn’t just burnt, it was incinerated. Not to mention the fact the surviving animals now have to food
Thank you so much for covering our fires. This is so wonderfully accurate and a nice change to see from all the misinformation that is out there. The fires are the size of France and we have lost 9 billion trees! I'm part of ARC a wildlife collective and will be transporting much needed medical supplies into the area this week end. I'm hoping to do a video on the trip and show the wonderful generosity of not only Australians but people around the world. Firstly I would like to thank the Canadian firefighters for coming here when the fires were early on and staying over Christmas, missing this time with their families to put out our fires. We have since had firefighters from NZ and the US. The particulate is actually worse than cigarette smoke because it's less than 5microns and damages the surfactant on the alveoli causing not only respiratory issues but heart attacks. We've had horrendous smoke here in Melbourne and worse in Sydney and now there are reports of smoke in South America. Give your donations to any of the fire organisations, CFA or RFS, Red Cross, animal organisations ARC, Wildlife Victoria, Wires. I've done one video on the fires and will likely do more. Again, thank you from the bottom of my heart xx
Going to check your video out.
I am also from Australia but I am in WA. We haven’t had serious fires like you. I am so sorry and just wanted to say thank you for you service.
The Wee Norn Iron Woman Thanks so much.. I’m only an amateur but improving all the time.. Hard when I only have an iPhone 5S
Chel Belle You’ve got your share of fires too and fire season has only just begun.. Crossed fingers and toes and everything else that we’re done
Thanks for this video guys. As a young Australian living close to where these bushfires are and having many loved ones in the affected areas, it is disappointing as the people who can make a difference, our politicians, ignore things like this and ignore the warning signs and don't act on the advice and data provided to them. I am truly ashamed of this country's leaders as they say they will act on the Australian population's needs, but they never seem to pull through on their promises.
Please, whoever you are reading this, please help us. Help by donating to the charities and services linked in this video's description so we can survive this. "If we all give a little, it will add up to a lot." This quote has always proven true. So please. And to those who cannot donate, we thank you all for the kind thoughts and prayers sent our way.
Love from Australia.
Aussie here!
Thanks for letting the world know just how bad our fires are!
Appreciate it greatly!
I'm watching from Australia and I just want to say thank you so much for making a video on this.
Joselle Ysa stay safe, and I’m wishing you all the best
Hi, Joselle--please take good care; my thoughts are very much with you.
There's no such country, it's a hoax
@@cosmo9208 you're joking?
I second this
This is so sad😔 hang in there Australia!❤️
Thank you! We trying!
As someone who lives in a par of the country on the coast, these fires were actually terrifying. In my area they started as early as June/July and escalated very quickly. Less than 100 children attended school out of the 600 in November and our annual horse races were cancelled half way through, due to the jockeys not being able to see and the horses having respiratory issues. Friends of mine had to put their family’s number on their horse and let them run free. My stepfather’s friend was protecting his house and couldn’t hear his own dogs burning to death over the sound of the flames. My best friends father was out fighting these fires and was sometimes only given water and a nut bar for lunch, after working through the night and day. Our government did such a horrible job of handling this and I was honestly disappointed. If you stuck around till the end thank you. For caring months after the fires got out of hand.
I’m from Australia and I would like to thank you all for your thoughtful prayers. And also the donations and the firefighters sent from your beautiful country’s. Thank you
it’s sad that this hasn’t been getting much coverage in the mainstream media. i didn’t hear about the fires until people started posting about it online. it’s crazy that people still deny that climate change is real.
When I first read your comment about it not being in mainstream media I was like, What? That's all they have been showing, but then I remembered I am in Australia.
@@Aquagreen53 Same I only heard about this online! It's not even mentioned in my country's news! Hand in there, people :(
Well that's sad but what can we do about it...
Actually the fires were caused by arsonists. They've already arrested over 200 people for starting brush fires. And the green agenda caused this by not letting people do controlled burns. Climate change isn't real and has nothing to do with this anyway. It's people and your idiotic green agenda.
@Panda Man no arsonists started numerous different brush fires across the country which burned out of control due to lack of management. Climate change isn't real it's a made up hoax to scare people into giving up their rights willingly. If the government takes three years to fix a mile of road wtf do you think they can do to change the weather?
Thank you so much for helping spread awareness about these fires. It’s been pretty bad here and while usually people make joking memes about us (With us being upside down and our spider population), it’s nice to see people actually taking this seriously and helping out. Thanks a bunch guys!
To all u guys out there....
I live near the bushfires and I have fires.. I’m in the hospital RN bc I have asthma..... I would LOVE to say thxs to all of u guys supporting/donating to the CFA (Australia fire dept.)
From an Aussie mate-
I am German, I have been living in Australia, on Bribie Island close to Brissie Brisbane for 5 Months and I did see your beautiful nature. I want to move to Australia, when I have finished either university or a workers qualification, because in my perspective Australia is the most beautiful country on earth. But for now I can only say that I donated a bit of money and I pray for you, the people of Australia and your wildlife.
the mental health part of the video could've been bigger, IMO. the attitude for us aussies is that "she'll be right mate" in the face of extreme adversity like this. there is a tendency to never seek help for mental health issues because it's often seen as a weakness. we need to also work on removing the stigmas around mental health so that people who are at the forefront of these horrible experiences get the help they deserve.
bigpapadrew definitely feeling that. The lack of acknowledgement that climate change is not only real but man made is bad enough, but when you talk to family and friends and they DO acknowledge that this is a problem but have the attitude of “she’ll be right mate” or “I can’t do anything so why try” is part of the problem as well. Especially for mental health in those that are trying and feel like taking to brick walls when discussing the issues.
I had an out of control fire 10 minutes down the road from my house. My partner and I didn't even bother packing a bag. If we'd had the official call to evacuate, we would've gone, but it terrifies me how unterrified I was.
Good points there but as an Aussie (with a capitol A) I'd just like to add my Point. Mix in a spoon of concrete in your cuppa and HARDEN THE F*CK UP.
i’m from the uk and almost everyone knows about how awful the fires are
Fire is dangerous, but we don't have regular fires
Tell the queen to replace Scott Morrison before the people revolt
TheBrassButterfly yes lets revolt and turn Australia into a communist country
@@SoPoroLOL who said anything about communism?
TheBrassButterfly I did because democracy is so corrupted when the government is in controlled and no one is taking action
Hello from UK. This is so sad and I feel powerless which is infuriating. Please can someone on this doomed planet who has the power to change things DO SOMETHING! What makes me more worried is our ignorance. I'm on the other side of the world, but I still feel like this threat is right next door. To people in Australia, the world is watching and praying for you x 💜
Just wanted to say a big thanks for making this lil video.
I live in Perth and we have lot's of fundraisers going on to try and help all the people, firefighters, and animals over east, so it's really cool that you guys are showing some support and explaining whats really going on 💖
Oh man I did put many effort to plant more and more trees
@joao marcelo de oliveira we can't expect any man to understand this issue correctly but we know that people will talk nonsense and give stupid ideas
@joao marcelo de oliveira the fires are the result of dry and hot climate pattern which eventually got worsened but the climate change which Trump, Bolsonaro and Australian PM oppose
@joao marcelo de oliveira you really don't know the truth that's why you are saying it's a joke. Look at the frame 2:32, what you think
F**k all of u😡, I'm confused😵
@joao marcelo de oliveira that doesn't make me egoist, every tree is my pride and I can say it with honour. It's your guilt that make you a madman without thinking of your family and society, as your thoughts are biased bcoz you're brain washed.
Thank you for spreading awareness of my country. ❤️❤️❤️
Thanks for this video, this is happening where I live right now, my aunty and uncle were unfortunately one of the many that lost their house.
I literally only heard about the fires this month here in the U.S., and I'm astonished by the lack of coverage. I'm hoping everyone will recover and that the Australian government will listen to their people.
The world definitely needed to you two to cover this.
Also, you guys have been a big inspiration for me and my channel
Thank you!
We've been thinking/worrying about the fires all break. Glad to be back and able to make videos again.
Please keep making videos on the environment! you explain things far better than any other source I'm aware of
@@AsapSCIENCE what do you think the outlook is on global warming ?
If we devoted more of our resources now could we change this?
2:10 thanks for keeping the good mood up
Blessing from Hong Kong! 🇭🇰
We are regret to hear Australian are experiencing a worse situation, and we pray for the deceased and the animals there.
All we can do is donate some money to Australia Rural Fire Service to support their fire fighting effort. Hopefully Australians can get through this soon!🙏
As an Australian, thank you to those around the world who are supporting us during the bushfires! I personally have not seen anything this extreme, last event which was this bad were the Black Saturday fires however they did not receive as much coverage as this. Thankfully social media has helped bring attention to the fires and the issues around how they are being managed.
Pray for Australia !
Hope they can stop the fire as soon as possible!
And also donate if it wasnt obvious
baby patrick has seen it all donating has been shown to be much more effective than praying: if you can spare some money to a cause helping the situation out there please do!
Yeah save your prayers, we need action.
Alright thanks for the positivity guys
Pary but also plant a tree if possible and say your friends to plant a tree ..that's the only way
Prayer is like masterbation.
It feels good for you but it does nothing for the person being thought of.
2:33 this scene made me cry
@Kellie Jones thanks for the info 😭, may his/her soul rest in peace. If you are from Australia then can you please keep us informed ?
Thank you for covering this. It’s good to see people who care. I am from Australia and I’m so glad people are helping either by donating or spreading the message.
Watching from the USA. Praying for all of you. Trying to find out how I can help? Australia I love you!! In my prayers. God bless all of you
I live in Australia’s capital city and I am exhausted with the smoke. It has been under threat of bush fires for a week now.
Refugees from fires have moved here however if the fire reaches us we have no where to go.
Sorry to hear that. Ironically for a government who is very anti-immigration, the liberal party (for non aussies they are really conservative, but have a weird name) supports coal, an industry that fuells climate change, predicted to cause mass migration, especially from low lying islands in the Pacific.
coal-ition
Thank you so much for covering this and everyone's thoughts and donations ♥️
1 BILLION animals dead and the worst fire our country has ever seen and the leader still refuses to believe in climate change, in bed with the coal industry as if we don't have enough fire in our backyards...
The fires hit us 2 weeks ago when I was in Mallacoota (remote coastal town in Vic). The out of control blaze started too close to the one road into the town, so no one could get in or out. We found out that the wind would change and the fire would come for us. 10 hours of waiting for the fire to find us. Anxiety. 4000 people were on the beach while we watched the fire ravish the town. Locals find out that their houses have burnt, animals have died. Distraught. 9am and the sky is pitch black. 9:15 and the sky is blood red. Asthmatic, I can't breathe, need steroid injection quickly. Running out of food. Can't get aid into the town, smoke is too thick for aircraft. Evacuation by navy ship to Melbourne.
It was hell.
Emotional wounds for my dear country are very deep but it's good to see the world is now mourning with us. Thank you ASAP science for educating people and for caring about our stories.
Australian here. In one state (VIC) the death count is at 3 - all male volunteers and fire fighters that have lost their lives. You guys and comments are correct in saying the things you have so far. We are all looking after ourselves and apprecieate all the support. That being said, the koalas going effectively extinct has not been reported on in Aus and unless you look into it you wouldnt have any idea our beautiful flora population is being desecrated. Keep up the great work.
Thank you for this video, for making thinks clearer
Appreciate you watching, and glad it's helped!
2:30 yeah thanks for making me cry!
from an Australian, thank you! You are acknowledging the bigger issue, something you even recognise our Prime Minister doesn’t get! you guys are awesome at educating everyone on how it impacts us. If possible as I know you guys have a lot of Aussie viewers could you do a video on how to reduce the impact from all the smoke and other hazards from the fire? Also say how we can help the communities once the disaster is over - being visiting them and supporting their local economy
I live in nsw and although none of the fires have directly effected us yet, two fire fronts are slowly closing in on our house which is surrounded by trees. It’s only a matter of time so we’ve left to Brisbane to get away from all the smoke. Thank you so much for spreading awareness. It means a lot to know that people care.
It's weird that they are showing their faces now rather than just drawing.
Charles Macleod you can tell it’s serious
Glad someone made a video on this.
I’m gonna start crying. I’m wishing all of you luck and I wish there was more we could do to help💓
As an Australian in Victoria living in a bushy area, I can say that the way Australians think about fire has changed especially the way we value things. I personally have been forced to leave home 3 times including Black Saturday where my house was saved by a wind change with 10 mins to spare. Our education has moved to encourage more and more families to plan to leave. Most people around my community have now moved to an attitude of viewing fires as a when not an if. Most families have planned locations to go if evaluated and the family documents and limited belonging stored in one place at all times encase they have to go.
I will end this by saying one thing, we really do feel the support other nation's people are given us thank you.
Us as Australians appreciate you guys for spreading awareness about this crisis, thank you 🙏
Yo, smoke is getting as far as Chile. Its been ""cloudy"" here for a while, which is NOT normal during these dates in Santiago
I live in Melbourne Australia. Thank you for all the support. Your honesty regarding to Australia’s PM and the government is amazing!! Many media around the world fail to mentioned that the government is the problem here too !!!!
As an Australian, thank you thank you thank you so much for advertising the donation links and using your platform to spread the word about this!! Did a good job covering where we're at
I don’t know what the vid is gonna be about but...
I already feel sick in my stomach
Here with us Australians, we're still eating tacos, cooking steak and buying hot chips while our country is burning down, wow, we're crazy.
Zion Does Stuff Yeah, given how much steak contributes to climate change, you might want to rethink that! :)
All you can do, unless you are a fire fighter, is keep going as normal as you can. I was brought up in Northern Ireland during the troubles. Bombs and shootings on the news never stopped you going anywhere. An army road bloc might delay you, but you just have to keep living. The whole country would shut down otherwise.
Obviously, if fire is coming your way, get out of the area. Hopefully the fire service gets whatever back burning they need done, and that you get rain where you need it.
Steak is good tho :( i want to help climate change
@@calebyao. Still going to need animal waste product to feed the soil growing crops, can't grow anything on nutrient deficient soil!
Watch "Dominion" , it's available on youtube. This documentary is about animal agriculture in Australia. We gotta take action now because only we are responsible for what's happening now.
Asapscience,
thank you so much! I can’t believe the global attention these fires have received, and to have big media influencers like yourselves talk about them makes a massive impact, including impact upon politicians to take action as they have begun to do.
From Australia,
We thank you!
As a young Aussie, thanks so much you guys for making this video, you guys have such a large audience and this will bring so much awareness to what this devastation has and will continue to cause.
After watching this now I'm scared because yes I have extreme asthma and I am terrified
The direction our world is heading is quite sad
Thank you ASAPScience for making this video...just thank you!! It’s really great to see the rest of the world get behind us in Australia because of people like you creating videos like this!!

Thank you for raising awareness for us. It’s great bigger social media platform channels and pages are doing this - it really helps. Your assistance will not go unnoticed. Cheers.
As an Australian and a fan of your channel, this made me so happy to see you guys sharing information and raising awareness about these devastating bush fires, we appreciate it so so much, and thank you for using your platform to speak up. much love
even New Zealand is getting orange skies from Australia's fires 🔥🔥😔
*I live in Melbourne.* I feel like the amount of smoke that we, Australians, breathe in every day is definetely going to have an effect in the long run. Similar to the Hiroshima atomic bomb that still has it's effects through radiation, this might have ongoing effects in generations to come (respiratory/lung cancer etc)
I live in Perth Australia and thank you for raising awareness! I’m very fortunate that Perth has not been affected by the brunt of these fires as they are in the Eastern States, however it is heartbreaking to see this beautiful country burn and people animals losing their lives and homes. As of writing this, there’s a bushfire that has started in Perth in a suburb called Baldivis and the smoke is very strong! Broome is also recovering from Cyclone Bruce and Rockingham have fires too. It’s scary but fascinating is a way how one side of Australia is burning, while one side is flooding. I hope rain comes soon, thank you once again for raising awareness! 🇦🇺
Thanks so much ASAPscience, this video and these comments made my day. Thanks for all the support from everyone to all us aussies!
I forgot that its summer in australia
“Ignored by the government” well, thats the problem’)
My heart just breaks, again and again while seeing those poor Koalas staring for help ! This world is becoming something I never ever wanted to think at ! God bless everyone from Australia and those who can help ! Stay strong , because we will somehow get it back to normal ! God bless you all !
It's truly devastating as to what is happening in our country, but it's people like you who are spreading awareness who will make an impact. We have been breathing in smoke since September, some days it almost feels like we are in the movie The Mist...it feels suffocating. I suffer from asthma so it's even worse. I pray that our country heals and no more lives and homes are taken. Please pray for us.
THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO. So many people don't realise how serious this is. Awareness is slowly being spread. Very important. Especially considering what these fires mean...
I wish I believed in God. I want the belief that someone will save us. I want to pray. I want this to stop.
Your videos make a difference. Thank you so much x
Yeah :(
Willow Mystique what do you mean everyone literally knows about ut
@@thatsalittlebassist but most people just don't realise the actual size of the situation. Maybe they think it's only one part of the country or something ya know?
@@thatsalittlebassist I see people acting like it's not a big deal at all everyday.
@@thatsalittlebassist Read Wrubies' reply lol. She said it well.
Well it's good that we have a Prime Minister who... oh wait never mind
Aussie based in Melbourne. Thanks for the balanced coverage guys. There's been so much media hype and hyperbole especially on social media.
In September (spring) driving through rural and farming areas in the S.E (Vic & NSW) I was surprised to see that everything then was dry and brown when it's usually lush and green. With only the two eyeballs that God has blessed me with I could see that we could be in for a very bad fire season. These are where some of the biggest and worse fires have been in the last two weeks.
Last week (New Years) I was in Canberra (our national capital) and for many consecutive days visibility was down to maybe 200-300m due to smoke from the fires in the Australian Alps and Victoria's Gippsland region 100s of kms to the south.
Please know that we are very thankful for the support that is being offered from around the globe and from countries like Canada and the USA who are sending teams of fire-fighters to help and relieve the local teams (I have friends who are fire-fighters).
The ecosystem/ecology here bounces back pretty quickly, but the effect of families and the economy here will be felt for at least a decade.
Thank you so much for covering the fires. Things in Australia are feeling a little hopeless right now but seeing support from outside the country gives us a little bit of comfort
I am a Aussie the fires made me reschedule our holiday and hundred s are stuck on a beach ready to run into the world. Thanks for the info
Meanwhile, where I am (Northeast US) it’s snowing hard yet only from one cloud-the rest of the sky is blue.
We can end global climate change, though. But a global challenge needs a global response... and global unity.
I would love to have some of that snow here in Finland. It's already January and no permanent snow has fallen to the capitol region. You have to go quite a bit further north to get decent amount of snow for, for example, crosscountry skiing. 😔
The fires were started by arsonists. Over 200 have already been arrested. That and not letting people do controlled burns means plenty of fuel for the flames. Climate change is a bunch of bullshit and raising taxes won't change the weather anyway.
You're just virtue signaling. 'We need global unity" means nothing. Ok we are unified, what now?
As someone who lives in Australia, I feel as if it hasn’t got as much media attention as it should (overseas). When the amazon was on fire, everyone knew about it and donated, or at least, spread the word through social media. The Australian fires are waaaaay worse (aka the worst fire to have existed) then the Amazon’s and only *now* have America sent firefighters to help with it, ofc I’m grateful for it, but it should have been sent sooner, which would have made it under control. Please spread the word and more importantly, donate. So many people have lost their homes and over 1 BILLION native and near extinct animals like koalas have died due to it. ❤️
Thankyou for making a video about this. Recognition from around the world is the only way our government is going to listen to us and put measures in place to prevent wild fires of this scale from happening again.
It's easy for we Australians to lose hope that this season will end but when I see information like this being spread around the world in a factual, serious manner I feel comforted that some people are seeing us and listening to our cries for help.
Thanks guys 💛🇦🇺
most climate change deniers are older too... those who won't need to live with the ramifications.
We need 20 million more trees in Australia alone
I'm from NZ and the day the sky turned yellow from Australia's fires was so scary! Thank you for using your platform to spread awareness. Hope Australia's politicians will finally wake up about climate change. Sending love to our neighbours across the ditch.
I live in Canberra and we have spent most of the last few weeks blanketed in the smoke from these fires.
Thank you for this video. It means a lot that people from Canada care about us and our environment.
