A report on the Australian bush fires. While bush fires have always occurred in Australia, the scale is unprecedented. With the rise of poor air quality in cities and an estimated one billion animals killed, the fires impact the entire country. Scientists blame climate change for the extended fire season, saying the environment has become increasingly hot and dry at an alarming rate. Includes interviews with Marilyn Mills, bush fire victim; Greg Mullins, a fire captain; Joelle Gergis, climate scientist at the Australian National University; and Malcolm Turnbull, former Australian prime minister.
