After All the Media Hype, Wildfires Across Southern Europe Were Completely Normal in 2023
By Paul Homewood
Writing in the Daily Telegraph last July, Suzanne Moore reported that the “world is on fire – and we can’t ignore it any longer”. She was noting the usual outbreaks of summer wildfires in southern Europe and suggested a retreat by cautious holiday makers in Rhodes away from one conflagration was “what climate refugees look like”. The Guardian was in similar hysterical mode observing that the lesson from Greece was “the climate crisis is coming for us all”. Such was the level of Thermogeddon interest last summer it is curious that final figures for areas burnt during the year are missing from mainstream media. In the five largest southern European countries for which the EU provides separate data – Portugal, Spain, France, Italy and Greece – 2023 was only the 20th highest in the modern satellite burnt acreage record going back to 1980.

I would not trust the BBC on anything like that after the recent pathetic response of Tim Davie to accusations of impartiality.
Not that I would defend the odious Davie, his comments are from about 3 years ago but who has any faith in his claim that he would ensure the BBC was impartial when they are obviously far from it.
The propagandists win again because the rebuttal is never widely shared and even if it is this just another example of the “noble lie” where they lie in a good cause ( or so the useful idiot pretend journalists think) and there will be no consequences for lying.
“Wildfires Across Southern Europe Were Completely Normal in 2023”
Normal … That’s unprecedented !!
Shirley thinks that surely it must be worse than we thought (:-))
The Guardian wants its readers brains on fire about their made-up climate crisis.
Suzanne Moore is, of course, ex- Guardian, so just taking her hysteria along to the Telegraph.
