Is anyone worried by the ongoing wildfires in Greece and soaring temperatures in Italy and Spain?
The reports on television of houses destroyed and people fleeing as fires approach their homes are as terrifying as they are tragic.The Mediterranean Sea has hit record levels with the surface hitting 28.5C.It may not have lasted long and not as devastating as what is going on in Greece and Italy but it was unusual and it happened.
Environmental campaigners have been telling the public, industry and government for decades about the consequences of the continued burning of fossil fuels. Equally, if not more, concerning is we have the prospect of political parties moving away from environmental policies for fear of a potential backlash from people who either don’t believe in climate change or who think the measures we need to take now are too much of an inconvenience.
