Best Posts in Thread: Are the Lungs of Europe Dying?

IMO, The crud we put in the atmosphere, land and bodies of water is not healthy for us or almost every other life form on earth. Earthlings are capable of destroying all that supports life, as individual nations and possibly as a single human. I do not believe earthlings are capable as individual nations of cooperating to the point of repairing the damage. How's that for depressing? How bad is it? Facts are often skewed by the interests of those speaking them.

The majority of what we breath does not come from the forests.

Let's see how bad the the 2026 wildfires are doing on a larger scale and as compared to recent history.

Well that's strange. It seems like Europe 2026 wildfires are below average while France and Spain are above average. Wildfires also seems average to below average when comparing all the other major land masses. Maybe the orange sleazeball skewed all these websites with a Sharpie.

Regardless of the truth, I'm installing solar and living out my days uphill from coastlines, in a tropical paradise.

 

Forget the Politics, where heads of Government are changing hands rapidly.
The on going war in the Middle East continues spreading it own destruction.
The next big catastrophe is upon us.....Wildfires.
Wildfires and lack of rain water is allowing massive area's of France and Spain to become tinder boxes. Fires are now out of control in places as thousands of people are being evacuated to safer ground. Even in the UK, parts of Scotland and Wales are struggling to contain their own wildfires.
The loss of Habitat and Wildlife cannot be ignored any longer, Climate Change is Real.
Question is;
Is the World prepared to continue to consume and destroy what is left of the Lungs of the World?
Just another thought for today JB
