Beavers tackling Europe’s raging wildfires & helping burnt landscapes recover #Beavers build dams, dig channels and transform small streams into broad wetland areas. This helps keep plants lush and green, even throughout long periods of drought. It means when a #wildfire ignites, the green vegetation near the beaver ponds will be much harder to burn compared to dried-out areas. Experts say that #fires will often take the path of least resistance https://www.euronews.com/2026/07/29/how-beavers-are-quietly-tackling-europes-raging-wildfires-and-helping-burnt-landscapes-rec #nature #wildfires

The intense heatwave at the end of June alone, is estimated to have killed 20,000 people. Climate crisis-driven heat is “sucking soils dry” as extreme drought spreads across Europe and other parts of the world. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/jul/31/wildfires-extreme-weather-europe-spain-france-climate-crisis-analysis #MakePollutersPay #climatecrisis #heatwave #drought #fires

Europe’s extreme heat has killed around 20,000 people in just one week, including over 5,700 deaths in France alone, while a five‑day heatwave in India was linked to nearly 30,000 excess deaths. Adapting our homes, cities and health systems and protecting people from the fossil‑fuelled climate crisis must now be treated as an ABSOLUTE political priority. #heat #fires #health #climatechange #climatecrisis #heatwaves #makepolluterspay

REMINDER: Just because a wildfire starts with a cigarette butt, faulty power line, arson or lightning strike does NOT mean the climate crisis is off the hook. Hotter, drier conditions are turning those sparks into fires that burn longer, spread faster and are far harder to control. #fires #france #spain #forestfires #wildfires #climatechange #climatecrisis

Hmmm... out of control wildfires across the world (in France, Spain, the UK, Canada... and that's just this week), might indicate that the warming world has reached the point where plant substance(s) from ground cover to trees are in a state of frequent potential combustion. If the world *does* catch fire , what next; certainly imposing tariffs on those effected doesn't look that effective... I know, how about re-thinking objections to environment-focussed policy making? #ClimateChange #Fires

"While a mortal threat to the most vulnerable, the smoky air, which triggered air-quality alerts across the country, was mostly a nuisance in the United States. But up north, the #fires represented an existential catastrophe for some small communities of First Nations people. "One of the glaring ironies of #GlobalWarming is that its worst effects often land the hardest on the people least responsible for contributing to the problem." https://www.americamagazine.org/politics-society/weekly-dispatch/2026/07/24/canada-first-nations-ontario-wildfires/?mc_cid=38d6e959d6&mc_eid=42caf3e016 #Canada #Wildfires

REMINDER: fires and smoke wouldn’t be this severe if action had been taken on climate earlier. Yes, some blazes start with human error or arson, but the climate crisis is drying forests and landscapes into matchboxes, so one spark becomes a firestorm that is hotter, faster and far harder to fight. #fires #forestfires #wildfires #climatechange #climatecrisis #oregon #ontario #us #canada #france #spain

"#ClimateChange is bringing more frequent and severe extreme periods of heat and prolonged regional #drought, setting up tinderbox conditions in forests that fuel larger, more erratic and stronger #fires." https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/wildfires-us-canada-smoke-air-quality-b3016125.html

#Greece, #Italy, #Spain, #Portugal, #France, #Germany, #England: Much of Europe is suffering an immense #heatwave. #Forestfires are (or were) ravaging, 12 people dead in Spain from forest fires. More forest #fires are sure to follow before the summer is over. Around 4000-5000 dead in Germany from the heat in June alone. #nuclearpowerplants in France shut down or running at reduced capacity to protect the rivers (that providing cooling to the plant) from overheating. And all of this is just the beginning of the #climatecrisis. We've seen it coming for decades, but failed to act on the information. How much longer until we take this for what it is, a #climateemergency?
