Oooh - normally I'd rather use an RSS feed directly but this is one of those rare times that a fedi bot is on the side of good,I think.
http://www.democracynow.org/2026/7/27/fires_europe_heat was just shared by @DemocracyNow_Headlines_rss@burn.capital which, yeah, kind of important to be forthright about this? Just a little? And corporate media isn't doing a great job of that.
A third of a million climate evacuees this week!
among the largest peacetime evacuations in France since World War II
with important facets omitted in other coverage:
the firefighters’ strike in Madrid? They had been warning for years about being underresourced, ... they are in, ... Madrid, a conservative-controlled area where the head of the region talks about, oh, climate change as being propaganda.

these academics have context that bloviators lack: The extreme temperatures and severe drought conditions have created a new category of sixth-generation wildfires what's a sixth-gen wildfire? these are not normal fires. They are so intense that they create their own weather systems — right? — and making them virtually impossible to extinguish until the weather recedes just how cataclysmic? flames exceeding a hundred meters, so these are 30-story-tall flames and It’s extraordinary, kind of end times-class energy that is being released by these systems now. http://www.democracynow.org/2026/7/27/fires_europe_heat #wildfires #spain #DemocracyNow #climateChange
