Raging Fires In Australia And Many Other Places
Although Australia had been discovered and inhabited long before 1770 when the British Government laid claim to the eastern half of it, it was not until this time that is became somewhat civilized. Even then it was a penal colony where many criminals were sent to work off their sentences and this particular civilization began about 1788 in the colony of New South Wales. It was a wild and untamed land that drew many people to it to live and help turn into the magnificent continent it is today.
Many areas known as the outback are still wild and are very treacherous to cross. These remote regions that are densely populated with wildlife also have other indigenous people know as the Aborigines. They have inhabited this land for thousands and thousands of years. Australia, like the North American continent, is now a much more populated place that has for a large part become what we refer to as civilized.
In recent years there has been growing concern about the numbers of wildfires that have been occurring and among them is Australia. The wildfires that have been burning in the northern region of Australia have been able to be monitored by satellite. These sorts of raging fires are common in many countries and are usually considered a natural phenomenon and a natural way for land to burn itself off and become renewed.
The thing that has so many environmentalists concerned is the fact that these fires seem to be occurring more and more frequently in more places nor just in Australia, but all over the world. The northwestern region of the United States has been seeing more than their normal share of wildfires in recent years too. The question is how many of these fires are just a natural occurrence and how many more of them are being caused because of the changes in our climate that some believe to be man made?
The climate change is a topic that is being heavily debated all over the world. Some people absolutely refuse to believe that all of the carbon emissions that we create and dispel into our atmosphere have anything to do with the droughts and fires we are suffering in so many places. Further research will have to be done to reach any specific conclusions, but how much more time could we actually have before things reach the point of no return? By the time we figure for sure whether or not we humans are the cause of the changes in our climate, will it already be too late to make a difference and make things right again?
