I imagine once they were on the ferry escaping the fires they were relieved to be safe but the extent of the fire and how it appears to almost surround them is truly frightening.
The UN report published yesterday unequivocally linked climate change to CO2 emissions. The evidence is strong and the situation is urgent but as you say their are still people who try to deny it is happening.

I won't deny humans are having an effect on our precious planet but I just don't believe in the science anymore. Not so long ago studies here in Australia were stating our Great Barrier Reef was in mortal danger due to Coral bleaching and gee whiz did the left leaning media and screaming leftist politicians make noise about it. Today a new study has been released showing the greatest coral cover (growth) in 36 years since records began.
That's good news but there has been a La Niña, a weather phenomenon which brought cooler water temperatures and allowed coral regeneration. This is a one off event that lead to the improvement but the reef is still very much under threat.
The sad part of this is that the countries that are most impacted by climate change, for example Iraq, India, African and Caribbean countries, are those that historically have had the lowest CO2 emissions. This is a global problem mostly created by industrialised countries that impacts disproportionally harder on poorer countries.
This is quite alarming. I know where I am right now in the southeastern US we’re consistently hitting temps in the mid 90s (Fahrenheit). I can’t imagine adding another 30 degrees on top of that!
