Wildfires are projected to burn 39% more of Europe by the end of the century even in the best-case scenario for stopping the planet from heating, a study has found, unless action is taken to manage them better.
The increase in hot, dry and windy weather that leads to small fires turning into raging infernos is to engulf more of Europe as carbon pollution pushes temperatures higher. In the worst-case scenario the researchers modelled, which would see global heating reach 3.6C above preindustrial levels, the burnt area would almost triple.
Improvements in fire management could moderate those increases by more than 70%, the study found, but not eradicate them entirely.
Sounds like tossing a few scapegoats in the political volcano to appease the financial gods.
It’s to rile up an irrational emotional base that will vote based on emotion alone, because a third of the nation are too lazy or stupid to learn how governance and the world actually work, they’re very happy to let their peers and pastors/priests tell them how to vote and who to hate.
The sacrifices thrown to the financial gods are the few ceos and few rich people that get prosecuted every other decade, and then no regulations are passed and no one else suffers consequences for the same fraudulent schemes.
