I recall about three years ago Aris Roussinos wrote an Unherd article about the effect of the Greek fires on his family. It was understandably a somber piece.
David Patrikarakos reminds us that, even amid destruction, life goes on. There is always hope. Perhaps the climate doomsters would do well to bear that in mind.

I wonder if the demise of small farms has left too much of the landscape completely untended. All those farmers would clean out the deadfall and knock back the brush for the safety and convenience of their families. (You can’t shoot rabbits if you can’t see them.) Not so, anymore. This effect must be happening all over Europe.
A wonderful essay; much appreciated.

Are they still called “wildfires” if they’re started deliberately, by people?

It seems that Greece is yet AGAIN about to plunder the EU ‘Piggy Bank’.
Who was that wretched Frenchman who let them into the EU in the first place? *

This comment is rude, crude and I really don’t understand how it relates to Patrikarakos’s rather heartfelt writing.
Diogenes of Sinope would understand it even if you don’t.
