  • Australia.

  • It's the country you go to when you want to have an adventure

  • but don't want to translate anything.

  • Now, if you've heard about Australia recently,

  • it's because your social media feed

  • has been full of people asking you to pray for Australia.

  • So, let's find out more about the crisis happening down under

  • in our recurring segment, If You Don't Know, Now You Know.

  • -♪ ♪ -(cheering and applause)

  • Like many places around the world,

  • Australia has an annual fire season.

  • But thanks to climate change,

  • this year, it's gone from being a season

  • to a never-ending nightmare.

  • Halfway across the world, a catastrophic situation

  • is playing out in Australia, where massive wildfires

  • are forcing thousands of people from their homes.

  • NEWSWOMAN: We knew the wildfires in California

  • were huge in 2018,

  • and last year, the fires in the Amazon were even bigger.

  • But since September, the fires here in Australia

  • have already burned more than three times

  • both those events combined.

  • NEWSWOMAN 2: Firefighters facing a relentless battle.

  • Skies thick with smoke and glaring orange.

  • The fires generating so much heat,

  • authorities say they're creating

  • their own weather system,

  • including several fire tornadoes.

  • Holy shit, fire tornadoes?

  • You know climate change has gotten bad

  • when we're getting disaster mash-ups.

  • Like, you realize if we don't do something

  • about climate change, this could become the norm.

  • Like, super disasters.

  • You know, like tsunami volcanoes

  • or blizzard earthquakes.

  • The most disastrous combination of all,

  • The Emoji Cats Movie.

  • (laughter)

  • And these fires...

  • These wildfires have been catastrophic on many fronts.

  • They cause dozens of deaths.

  • They destroyed thousands of homes,

  • and they have been especially devastating

  • to Australian wildlife.

  • Firefighters are racing to save the wildlife

  • amid those wildfires still raging.

  • The staggering toll we've been reporting on here,

  • now an estimated billion animals lost.

  • NEWSMAN: Experts say 80% of Australia's wildlife

  • can only be found on this continent.

  • Many are now threatened.

  • NEWSMAN 2: And as temperatures soared,

  • koalas face dehydration.

  • This firefighter lent a helping hand,

  • and this cyclist gave water to a koala

  • who just couldn't drink enough.

  • Aw, man.

  • That is just heartbreaking.

  • And not just because so many animals are being wiped out

  • but because Australia has the coolest animals

  • you can't find anywhere else.

  • Like, no one else has animals with a built-in fanny pack, huh?

  • Which other country has an animal

  • that looks like a beaver banged a duck?

  • And, of course, Australia's home to the rarest species of all,

  • the Hemsworth brother. We need them.

  • We need them.

  • I also have to say it's heartwarming

  • to see people, you know, coming to the rescue of animals.

  • Uh, quick heads-up, though. And this is completely true.

  • The koala population is riddled with chlamydia,

  • so I'm just saying you may want to scrub that water bottle

  • before you, you know, have sex with it.

  • Uh, yeah, you don't want to get your own personal bush fire.

  • -(laughter) -Now, Australians...

  • Australians aren't just hurt and scared

  • because of these fires right now.

  • There's also a lot of anger in the country,

  • and a lot of it is aimed

  • at the Australian prime minister, Scott Morrison,

  • who many Australians feel hasn't handled the situation

  • like a leader should.

  • NEWSWOMAN: This nationwide crisis

  • started back in September.

  • The prime minister continues to face backlash

  • over the response.

  • NEWSMAN: Morrison has been heavily criticized

  • for insisting that the responsibility

  • belonged to state rather than federal government

  • and for vacationing in Hawaii during the fires.

  • I get it that people would have been upset

  • to know that I was holidaying with my family

  • while their families were under great stress.

  • NEWSWOMAN 2: Scott Morrison set out

  • for a prime ministerial moment on the fire's front lines.

  • Instead, rejection.

  • A firefighter refusing the prime minister's handshake.

  • Other residents heckled the prime minister...

  • Don't come back! You're not (bleep) welcome!

  • ...until he drove away.

  • Are you from the media? Tell the prime minister

  • to go and get (bleep) from Nelligen.

  • We really enjoy doing this (bleep).

  • Wow.

  • That is an angry Australian man.

  • And usually, it's hard to tell when Australians are angry,

  • mostly because their accent always sounds upbeat.

  • You know, it's just like, "Hey, mate.

  • I'm gonna stuff a bloody dingo up your ass."

  • You're like, "Oh, thank you."

  • (laughter)

  • So, Australians are angry at the prime minister

  • because he was on vacation during a crisis,

  • and he didn't want volunteer firefighters

  • to get paid even though they're risking their lives.

  • And while Australians are accusing their prime minster

  • of not stek... stepping up, the rest of the world, luckily,

  • is trying to help in a major way.

  • NEWSWOMAN: Apocalyptic destruction

  • and a global reaction.

  • The largest Facebook campaign ever has raised

  • more than 30 million U.S. dollars for firefighters.

  • NEWSWOMAN 2: Music star Lizzo

  • took a break from her tour in Australia

  • to help pack meals for fire victims.

  • NEWSWOMAN: On Monday, a crew of 20 veteran firefighters

  • from California who fought some of the state's

  • most devastating wildfires

  • suited up and shipped out to Melbourne.

  • NEWSWOMAN 3: Kaylen Ward. She's a model,

  • and she's now known as "The Naked Philanthropist."

  • The 20-year-old was offering to send nude photos

  • to people who made a donation to relief efforts.

  • She posted on Twitter that if they made a donation

  • and they sent her proof,

  • she would send back a nude photo of herself.

  • She says the idea has helped raise

  • $1 million in donations.

  • Wow!

  • This woman raised $1 million in donations

  • with nude photos.

  • Really shows you we can solve all the world's problems

  • if we can just harness the power of horniness.

  • Yeah. I mean, imagine if people got a nude picture

  • every time they recycled properly.

  • People would get very diligent about sorting their trash.

  • Be like, "What the hell is wrong with you, man?!

  • "Put the plastic in the blue bin!

  • I want to see that ass!"

  • (applause)

  • And, now, despite everyone who's chipping in,

  • Australia still needs all the help it can get.

  • So, please, if you can,

  • go to the websites on the screen

  • and donate whatever it is.

  • You can donate money. You can donate time.

  • You can adopt a Hemsworth. Every little bit helps.

  • But the big thing we've got to remember is that,

  • unless the world leaders take climate change really seriously,

  • situations like this are just gonna keep happening.

  • And if you don't know, now you know.

Australia.
