IT'S A SIGN
Virginia Trioli introduces a segment on last night’s Lateline:
Time is running out for the living planet according to a new report from the United Nations. It says the environment has reached crisis point where population growth and global warming imperilling the earth and to some experts, the fires currently devastating California are the latest sign of how climate change is affecting humanity.
And then she throws to Simon Palan, who reports:
Four people have been arrested on arson suspicion so far and $US150,000 reward is offered for any information leading to further arrests.
Those people are called “climate change”, apparently. Five are now under arrest for arson; the reward for information on these climate changers has been increased to $250,000.
UPDATE. An earlier report from Californian reader Saltydog.
