Mmmmm, better round up some immigrants, it’s gotta be their fault.
Sadly, I’m 100% sure some people actually think that.
This just happened a few days ago there and was reported in an arricle. Some dudes were going around arresting and beating immigrants and blaming them for the fires. They recorded themselves and posted it online.
Wasn’t Greece just on fire? Was the rain at least over the burning portion or is it now burning and flooding at the same time?
Wildfires lead to worse flooding as the plants no longer absorb water and the ash is hydrophobic increasing runoff
If it was - Forrest fires apparently make the ground hydrophobic in addition to burning away all of the ground cover. This can make flooding in those areas much worse.
This then washes away soil and makes it even harder for trees etc to grow back.
Everyone knows you shouldn’t put out a Greece fire with water
Welcome to the era of chaotic weather.
All previous climate norms are now over.
We are in uncharted territory.
Chaotic eras always follow stable eras sooner or later.
Down voters didn’t read the book and missed the joke.
My goodness! Zagora, Greece recorded a jaw-dropping 528 mm (21 inches) of rain in just 10 hours - an additional 300-500 mm, locally up to 600 mm, of rain could fall by Thursday. A historic flooding event is underway!
Good use of metric, mm is much better than cm.
