Extinction Rebellion Protest Against Bushfires Outside Australian Embassy In London

Members of climate change activist movement Extinction Rebellion (XR) protest the Australian government's response to its ongoing bushfires emergency at a demonstration outside the Australian High Commission in London, England, on January 10, 2020. Wildfires have burned more than 12 million acres of Australian land since beginning in September last year, with the states of New South Wales and Victoria most severely affected, and with the fire season still far from over. Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison is facing intense criticism over his handling of the crisis, including his decision to go on holiday to Hawaii last month and his government's refusal to break ties with the country's powerful coal lobby. Worsening climate change is expected to exacerbate the conditions around the world that cause such devastating fires to begin. (Photo by David Cliff/NurPhoto via Getty Images)
