Australian Wildfires Release Massive Amounts of Greenhouse Gas
--------------------------------------------------------------

In Australia, uncontrollable fires are continuing to rage across the
continent. Officials are warning residents near the capital's suburbs to
take shelter inside their homes today as a massive fire approaches the
Canberra airport. In addition to killing 29 people and more than 1
billion animals, the unprecedented fires in Australia have also released
massive amounts of greenhouse gas emissions, which will even further
fuel the climate crisis.
