  1. We talk about climate migration from the third world, but we may need to abandon our first world countries in the future if things like this make them uninhabitable.

  2. This is why CARBON NEUTRALITY IS USELESS. What's the point of net zero goals when these fires released over 100 years of carbon dioxide and emissions??? If nobody uses electricity in Europe, it'll take decades to "neutralize" this fire's air pollution and carbon emissions.

  3. Given that wildfires are becoming increasingly common, why do European countries still rely on volunteers as firefighters? Having volunteers sends the message that fires and firefighting are not a top priority. Can't Europe actually have a professional firefighting service as a full-time career (like Military, Police)?

  4. This is just the beginning. The whole of Europe is going to have the same problem in the years to come. Climate change will soon become a global catastrophe costing Many lives and trillions of dollars. We were warned for decades this would happen and now it's to late to stop. Even if we stop burning fossil fuels the planet will continue to get hotter for at least 50 years and theres not a dam thing we can do about it.

  5. 2 Esdras 16:9 “A fire shall go forth from his wrath, and who is he that may quench it?”
    Revelation 16:9 “And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, which hath power over these plagues: and they repented not to give him glory.”

  6. What a nightmare.. I wonder when people evacuate where do they go? I mean if you dont have people who can take you in or money for a hotel etc, what do you do? Legit question, like what do people do?
