Reality doesn’t care about political talking points. This isn’t because Spain and France forgot to rake the forest. This is climate change, plain and simple, and it’s only going to get worse. 🚨 Nearly 200,000 people are running for their lives from out-of-control wildfires.

It is so much easier to blame not raking (millions of square miles!) of forest than to do something. Trump rages about taking all the while trashing any kind of renewable energy. Follow the money.

And why would I not be surprised if rather than offer aid, tRump would slap Tariffs on both countries for distracting attention from himself? And the news media would post that as normal. 🚬😎

How do we effectively counter billionaire and energy company misinformation? They have the money, and they use it to push their false narratives. Why don't people see what is happening before their own eyes? Is it because changing to renewable energy might cause some inconvenience?

The people telling us to “rake the forest” are the ones destroying the planet. And instead of punishing them and stopping them we bicker over whether raking a whole forest would actually help. I’m tired.

I had to run for my life from a wildfire when I lived in Colorado. It was the most terrifying experience I've ever gone through. I kept thinking, This must be like being in war, when danger is all around. (And I've been engaging Republican voters on progressive issues, in person, for many years.)

To be fair, in southern Spain, they do "rake" the forest. Well, no. However they do clear underbrush near highways and roads at risk. They close forested areas during high risk times. Climate change is here now, it's not "in the future".

Americans are majority responsible for current warming levels. "Earth's current human-induced warming level is approximately 1.3°C to 1.4°C above pre-industrial levels, with recent individual years like 2024 temporarily exceeding 1.5°C."

Americans are only four percent of the world's population And yet we produce nearly a quarter of the world's greenhouse gas emissions This imposes on us a particularly heavy responsibility for the way the planet is changing ELIZABETH KOLBERT Earth's current rate of warming: 1°C/28 years🔺🆙

Our UK climate change deniers such as Tice, Farage and other unscrupulous dickheads who take £millions in donations from energy suppliers don’t seem to be saying much at the moment 🤔.

This isn’t because the earth just “does this”. Rain bomb and high winds took out 20 large trees July 23, 2026 at around 7pm at the Hells Canyon Idaho Power campground. Luckily no one was hurt. Now, Idaho power wants to build two GAS FIRED power plants to meet data center demand. 🤬

Now 220,000 as the fires west of Madrid are declared beyond the capacity of the fire teams. Soaring temperatures in Europe, drought and now massive wildfires...all have been true for the last few years, but this year is the worst on record, and we are only half way.

All because humans wouldn't end their addiction to fossil fuels. All because fossil fuels don't give a damn about anything but profit. Humans are so destructive and then, never take responsibility. Then religion elects politicians who deny it and stop change. So here we are. Baking to death.

I think that should apply to all climate change deniers, maga or not because Im sick of idiots thinking they can live like no tomorrow and then moving when its not longer habitable

and unless we are salting the earth, we need to use up fresh water to fight off the fires... really starting to look like the evil rich are trying to make fresh water a scarce resource in every way they can. i bet they remove it from being a human right and start selling it like gas...

This is heartbreaking. There are fires all around me. The air is thick with smoke. It gets worse and fire season starts earlier every year. I sure wish there was something that we could do about it. 🙄

I am so sorry. Countries have to address this together. We have an unwell, insane, unhinged president who is destroying our country and the world. God help us all. 🙏🏻

They better hope this smoke does not travel across the Atlantic and gets detected in the Southern states. Trump will impose more tariffs on these Europeans, who clearly never rake their Forests.

Today I woke up to the strong smell of burnt plastic and haze in the sky from all the fires here in South France 😥💔. Total devastation, animal, wildlife and all those caught up in this ...scary times.

It's awful, truly to watch the magnificent beauty of central Europe destroyed this way. Recalling the tourists fleeing from holiday venues to the beach to escape the fast moving and fatal flames. So traumatic. My heart goes out to the Europeans.

I don't hang with Bible thumpers, but I bet these fires have them all giddy, bc nothing makes them happier than the "end of times" They bought the trickle down BS and they bought the streets of gold BS Damn those sheep are dumb. Sadly, they will never know they are just gonna get crispy.

The fact that much of the world has had to adopt ‘fire season’ as alongside storm season should clue anyone with an intact frontal lobe in on the changes in our environment. Fire is not a natural fucking weather condition.

I was in Sicily a couple of years ago, there had been fires in some areas before. I'm still haunted by the bare, blackened earth and odd stalks sticking up. I'm now haunted that the fires are retuning.

We were there a couple of years ago as well. They had to shut down both the Catania and Palermo airports because of them. Fortunately, they reopened Palermo right before we flew into there. Their drought situation has been bad too in recent years, especially around Agrigento.

We can’t wait for the govt to wake up. We have to act individually. If you can afford it, put solar on your roof (it will pay for itself in < 5 years). Get an EV, or a hybrid, or at least trade in the pick up. Plant native plants (less water, less weeding, less fertilizer). Recycle more, buy less.

Forests have been doing well for thousands of years with out being raked They are burning because climate change made them tender dry . What Trump wants raked used to break down and become food for the forests

We lost our home in the Marshall Fire in Colorado in late 2021. 1100 homes lost in Boulder County in 1 day. Climate change is real, already here, and already devastating. Climate science denial, like the orange criminal fuck's, is grotesque criminal negligence.

Ya know, the more time I spend in my garden in Texas in July, the more the whole “rake the forests” line boggles my mind. Part a how I retain moisture in some a my planters is by spreadin leaf litter across the soil.

I don't hang with Bible thumpers, but I bet these fires have them all giddy, bc nothing makes them happier than the "end of times" They bought the "trickle down" BS and they bought the "streets of gold" BS Damn those sheep are dumb. They will never know they are dumb bc burnt ashes r just that.

Oh, they know it is true but don't want to spend the money to try and alleviate the problem because those that oppose the truth would stop filling their and their dirtbags' coffers. It's all about their money.
