Alison Wonderland Pisses Off Climate Change Deniers & Takes A Stand with New Merch
The fires in Australia are ravaging the continent with no clear end in sight, and millions of dollars in donations are pouring in from around the world to help volunteer firefighters and wildlife preservationists. Flume has already donated $100,000 of his own money, Fisher has raised the same with his sold out ‘Dance for Disaster Bushfire Appeal’ show, shows in Australia with Blanke & Enschway and Golden Features aim to do the same.
Now, Alison Wonderland is dropping a no-nonsense “Climate Change Is Real” tee. The statement is aimed directly at climate change naysayers who believe that it has nothing to do with how long the fires have lasted and how often they return.
“Hey everyone, instead of doing the Valentine’s Day drop I was planning, I wanted to replace the design to put something up specifically to help the brave Australian firefighters and wildlife during this horrible crisis,” she writes. “Haven’t produced this yet, but wanted to help straight away, so this will be a presale with these shirts arriving in a few weeks. All mine & management’s profits will be donated straight to WIRES, NSW Rural Fire Service, Country Fire Authority of Victoria. 100% of my merch profits for the entire month of January will also go towards this.”
She includes links to charities for fans to donate directly as well:
The shirt goes on sale tomorrow at 3pm PST fmuoasl.com.

Rihanna Joins Social Media Outrage Surrounding The "Devastating" Fires Impacting Australia
Rih reacts to the Australian fire epidemic that's been burning throughout the country since the fire season began last July.
The fire spread currently engulfing Australia, the worst wildfires the country's seen in decades, has caused many across the world to react with an outpouring of love and well-wishes. The latest to join the social interaction is none other than the pop queen herself Rihanna, taking to her wildly-influential Instagram account to make sure the masses are aware of how serious it is.
"Devastating," is all the Anti hitmaker could say, followed by a tear-filled emoji and the #Australia hashtag to really make sure her message could be seen. The image she decided to share is almost unbelievable, showing the continent nearly engulfed fully in flames and dark matter. According to CNN, the numbers are pretty staggering to say the least. This past Sunday (Jan 5) saw around 2,700 firefighters on active duty, in addition to "3,000 army reserve forces and others with specialist capabilities to help fight the flames" as CNN details. As of today, 136 fires are burning across New South Wales, with 69 of those not even being contained according to the NSW Rural Fire Service (seen below).
Alongside Rihanna, our prayers are definitely with those currently facing the devastation currently going on in Australia. We'll be sure to keep you all updated on the latest.
