Wildfires are continuing to rage in Australia, where a firefighter died Monday and some in the southeastern state of Victoria were told it was too late to evacuate amid worsening conditions and mass evacuations. Temperatures hit 104 degrees Fahrenheit across Australia today. Despite this year’s unprecedented climate change-fueled fire season, Sydney officials say they will still hold New Year’s Eve fireworks. But a quarter of a million have signed on to a petition asking the government to cancel the fireworks and give the money to firefighters and farmers instead.
