Most countries put in place a procedure to minimise the risk of wildfires by using control measures .

So much noise out there, but Alverum actually feels like it could deliver big gains.
@
Guys, seriously, the presale ending soon means early entries in Alverum are the sweet spot.
@
Seems like Alverum’s gaining some momentum, curious to see how it performs once the market fully wakes up.

Totes has nothing to do with the wood farms of eucalyptus trees and refusal to incorporate a controlled burn plan to remove underbrush

Weather extremes were always present in the history. But this fire had been predicted well ahead and the government is at least partly responsible for not having prepared. Too cheap Sanchez to blame others.
@
happening in Canada as well

So we don't need to let the sea in as i thought. You dig out a huge lake like the sea of Galilee and create a mountain from the mud like Mount Hermon which is close to the sea of Galilee. This will stop sea level rise if this happens world wide.

Весь ЕС не способен справиться с маленьким лесным пожаром?

Coastal - ocean water hydrant systems - with 25' vertical posts and wind swiveling nozzles.
Thermal imaging satellites able to dispatch AI trained, heat shielded, firefighting drones -
equipped with lasers to cut down trees and chemical nets that can then be dropped over smaller new fires closer to the ground.

Australia, where I live, is very likely next in the firing line for such fires and heat waves. But if we listen to the Americans, climate change is nothing to worry about.

It is important to note, that it is the consensus of climate scientists who have DEMONSTRATED that climate change is majorly to blame for the conditions that make the fires so likely. The Spanish Prime Minister is citing the scientific consensus.

I wish they could show us a map of the fire and its affected areas

Just imagine next summer as it will be even worse with El Niño being what they predict.
@
It's almost like when you exist essentially in a giant terrarium that stuffing it full of toxic gas and garbage would lead to ecosystem collapse. We're our worst enemy.

"Spain PM blames climate emergency for wildfires."
...
Of course he does.

Be safe 🙏🏼♥️

In Spain it is not permitted to remove dead trees from forests or from the sides of road without government approval.
@
Good forest management plays a part. Australia has contained burns in the cooler months to reduce out of control fires in summer.
@
If only Spain had a fleet of world class firefighting helicopters. Cough cough.

Typical. One minute it's all threats and fireworks, next it's a "strategic pause." I’ve seen this script before. Diplomacy is just a fancy word for waiting until the other side blinks or someone changes their mind. I'll believe it's settled when the missiles actually stay in the silos. Give it a week.

It’s always a bit nerve-wracking seeing these headlines, but I really hope that through all this tension, both sides find a path toward a lasting peace. Hoping for some positive diplomatic breakthroughs soon!

Hi everyone! It's wild to see how internet shutdowns are being used as a tool alongside physical force to manage these protests. It feels like a total blackout of information. Do you think digital restrictions are becoming the new norm for controlling dissent globally?
