But you’re annoyed that @ExtinctionR is going to be blocking some roads in London again. Makes sense.

The aftermath of the #evia #Greecewildfires. Mile after mile of dead nature, covered in dusty ash. The ghostly evidence of admiring the climate problem for decades instead of acting on it.

According to this piece:
1) Greek fire brigade vehicles are old (half of them 30 to 40 yo), and get knocked out with the first fires of the season.
2) the funding requested by forest management agency was 2 to 3 times what they were given. And even that came through

with delay.
3) the union of forest managers used to be 1200 strong, now it's less than 500, last hires of permanent staff were in 2008!
4) fire services are understaffed by about 4,000 fire-fighters!
5) the average age of the fire-fighters is rather old at over 45 yo (wtf!)

Yesterday, we watched the Prime Minister’s speech, which left us stunned, with a “goodnight and good luck” hanging over us, and a vague reference to the climate crisis, from which we must save our country.

A while later, in a tweet, the leader of the opposition informed us that the climate crisis started 3 years ago and “found them unprepared”.
Gentlemen, stop talking! The #climatecrisis did not start yesterday, nor 3 years ago.

Stop it. During your administrations, in just a few years and while the danger was already widely known, we have seen several abominable acts regarding the climate crisis as well as the biodiversity loss.

Athens has been burning for 3 days.
Euboea has been burning for 3 days.
Ilia has been burning for 2 days.

Our government isn't doing anything to help. Greece is burning and all people care about is their vacation at Mykonos or Santorini. +

The fire department doesn't have enough people to help cause the government keeps funding the police force. People are left alone trying to protect their homes. Firefighters are risking their lives to save everything they can, in the middle of a heatwave. +
People need to understand that this country is not an aesthetic, nor a background for.your Mama Mia fantasy. Stop romanticising it and spread the truth.
