Sadly, instead of dealing seriously with an issue that is consuming the globe, the corporate media prefers to draw attention to the behaviour of a lying charlatan.
Farage’s tribulations, with being cancelled by a bank because of his political standpoint, is an important matter but no where near the seriousness of the facts that the gulf steam is on the brink of extinction and temperatures are ripping up southern Europe and North Africa.
For those who do not take climate change seriously and do not care that their children and grandchildren… will suffer because of their ignorance and denial it may be worth cleansing your minds and taking the time to watch and read the following.
Wildfires are wreaking havoc across the Mediterranean region, affecting at least nine countries. Thousands of firefighters are tirelessly battling the blazes that have been fueled by temperatures exceeding 40°C (104°F) and dry terrain.
Tragically, the wildfires have claimed the lives of at least 34 people in Algeria and three in Italy’s Sicily. The situation remains dire as fires continue to threaten lives and properties on both sides of the Mediterranean.
Greece has been hit particularly hard, leading to the evacuation of over 20,000 residents and tourists from homes and resorts in the southern part of the holiday island Rhodes. The island of Corfu has also faced severe blazes. In the midst of the crisis, two firefighting pilots lost their lives when their plane crashed on the island of Evia, east of Athens.
In addition to the natural disasters, some fires were accidentally started, resulting in arrests and fines for the responsible parties in Greece.
In Italy, wildfires have struck the southern island of Sicily, claiming the lives of three elderly individuals. Croatia faced the threat of the flames reaching the medieval town of Dubrovnik, with reports indicating that the fire caused the detonation of landmines leftover from the 1990s war of independence.
France saw wildfires near Nice international airport, prompting firefighters to use aircraft to combat the blaze. Meanwhile, Algeria fought to contain devastating forest fires along its coast, which have already resulted in 34 fatalities. Strong winds also led to the closure of two border crossings in Tunisia due to wildfires.
Wildfires in Syria’s Latakia prompted authorities to use army helicopters in their efforts to extinguish the flames. In Turkey, precautionary measures were taken as a wildfire approached the Mediterranean resort of Kemer, leading to the evacuation of a dozen homes and a hospital.
The situation isn’t confined to the Mediterranean, as Portugal and Spain’s Gran Canaria also experienced wildfires.
EU officials have attributed the increasing frequency and intensity of wildfires across Europe to climate change, with 2022 being the second-worst year for wildfire damage on record after 2017. Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis emphasised his country’s role in fighting climate change, acknowledging that there is no magical defense mechanism to counter the challenges posed by climate change.
Scientists have described extreme heat as a “silent killer,” disproportionately affecting vulnerable populations such as the poor, elderly, and those with existing health conditions. Their research has highlighted the urgency of preparedness efforts in the face of sweltering heatwaves in Europe.
