River catches fire in Australia

A river in Queensland, Australia, has been intriguing politicians and environmentalists in the country.

There are times, environmental protection Ngos are leery of the bubbles formed in the waters of the river.

Jeremy Buckingham, Australian politician, decided to put these bubbles.

To his surprise, the river caught fire.

Environmentalists suspect that there is a methane gas leak happening near the River, escaping to the surface and making it flammable.

The surroundings of Queensland are known for the exploration of natural gas and can be the responsible for the leak that reaches the river.

At the same time, scientists claim that this can be a particularity of Queensland waters.

So, they should promote studies to understand whether there is in fact a leak or if there is a natural effect of methane in the river.

For now, the debate and the flames are still active there.
