Wildfires Rage in Australia as Former Fire Chiefs Warn of Climate Crisis
------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Australia, the death toll from raging wildfires rose to four
Wednesday, as a group of former fire chiefs said their attempts to warn
Prime Minister Scott Morrison about the dangers of climate change have
been ignored for months. Greg Mullins, the former fire commissioner for
New South Wales, called for the federal government to provide more
resources.

Greg Mullins: "But we're also calling on the government to take urgent
action on the fundamental problem that's leading to these catastrophic
fires, and that's climate change."
