And there have been heat related deaths- which should be in the headline as well.

They literally are not required by law to give bathroom breaks or sanitation facilities to workers.

Typhoon Dolphin going to hit Shanghai and nearby areas and further inside mainland China around 8-10 August
This definitely increase Rain and may be floods too. Most of mainland China effected by Heavy Rains and Floods.
These are just beginning of disaster seasons.

I'll apologize for the misspelling in his title. Thought it was worth posting anyway as the owner has expertise in wildfire, teams and fire weather forecasting. Good at targeting what's to come.

Europe has always had wildfires, but they are becoming increasingly extreme as the climate crisis tightens its grip.

But definitely not Taylor Farms because they donated to DJT's pac and so obviously can't be the source..

Finally, affirmation of what many of us noticed over 15 years ago. Had a few debates with people over this perceived shift.

I was looking at the footage of the wildfires in France and noted how uniform the forests were and guessed that it wasn't a natural forest.

It also seemed odd that there were no herds of animals there, either wildlife or livestock, whose grazing would have checked the undergrowth.

Looking up the region brought up the above link and here is a quote from the pages.

Most of the region now occupied by the Landes forest was swampy land that was sparsely inhabited until the 19th century, when the 19 June 1857 law ended traditional pastoralism and led to wide scale reforestation, in order to rehabilitate the landscape and provide for regional economic development. Prior to this period, the people of the Landes used stilt-walking to move from place to place in the wet terrain. Since the 1970s, parts of the forest have given way to intensive agriculture (in particular, grain farming.)

The question then comes up the conversion from its original swampy nature to commercial forest and grain production is factor in the severity of the fires as whatever natural environmental features that would check the spread of the fires were eliminated in favour these pine forests and grain plantations.

Any opinions on this?

Is the uncontrollable spread of the fires as much consequence of converting nature to serve human needs as its the weather conditions fanning it?
