The volunteers risking their lives to defuse Indonesia's wildfire 'carbon bombs'

Comments

1. Iron Cipher: that picture looks like a still from a bad disaster movie
2. Lena: they're not just risking their lives for people on the ground, they're also fighting against the effects that will be felt in years to come
3. Void Beacon: what's with all these massive blazes, can't they just get some water on them already?
4. Ghost Kite: Carbon bombs, that's a great way to put it. All this toxic smog is what happens when we ignore our own backyard. What's the plan for holding those responsible
5. 🪐 Sigrid Nkosi: can't believe people are still burning peat and expecting others to fix their environmental disasters
6. Rubyreyesxo: reminds me of that time the fires in California were burning through our own peat reserves - but at least those guys got recognition for their work, not just a camera crew
7. Frost Sable: you really think they're going to contain these fires though?
