Communications experts say these young climate activists are using their moral authority as children, and their social-media savvy, to surf a rising tide of adult concern.

Australian bushfires: How social media provided the world with a window to the crisis As fires rage across three Australian states, devastating towns, businesses and the lives of the people that support them, helpless onlookers have taken to social media to express their grief and to illustrate the crisis. Here is a collection of Tweets spanning the affected states that highlight our nation's response to one of the worst natural disasters we have faced.
