While we are battling cold winds and dipping temperature (min down : 10 to 7 to 5.6 C), folks in Australia have to bear 40 C us temperatures, water shortage in some places, and worse- the Forest fires, especially in New South Wales (NSW). Firefighters are struggling to fight fires. For my Australian friends here - stay indoors whenever possible, have lots of fluids and curd. And well do take care!

It’s a huge shame what is happening in Australia. I’m following it on the news.

Just doesn't seem fair, does it? They're boiling and we're freezing. How about a happy medium Mother Nature?

@BarBaraPrz Well the medium thing would need us humans to change a lot of things and the governments too to do a lot.

It seems to me that we should be treating climate change as a serious and deadly threat. Better to be safe than sorry.

@Ronrybs Many people have become aware and making efforts. Yet many are yet to get aware. But awareness is low at the government and corporate level.
