Finally updating here

We were in Australia for almost a month and then in the Korean countryside for Lunar New Year, so I haven’t had the chance to sit down and update on the blog.

If you are subscribed to us on YouTube you would have seen our videos though.

In this one we give a lot of detail and explanation as well as our footage. While our experience was not nearly as bad as many other people’s experience, it was still quite traumatic for us. That’s why I don’t want to type out too much here.

In this video that Hugh edited it’s most of our raw footage.

Since talking about our experience online and talking about the very clear link between climate change and the fires, we get harassed most days by climate change deniers. This has added to the stress of just dealing with an experience like that.

Australia, both my hometown and Sydney and down the South coast, is a place I no longer recognize. Sydney is constantly dealing with smoke pollution, my hometown has extreme drought and dust storms every week. So much of the South coast is destroyed by these unprecedented fires. To be honest we were pretty glad to get back to Korea. Korea may have air pollution but we all have air purifiers and apartments that seal up. My throat is still not good from all smoke we had no choice but to breathe.

These fires are still burning as I write this. I know it’s been fading from international news, but it’s still a massive threat. The temperatures are still extreme and there is still so much at risk.
