My family are getting a bit stressed. We are to travel to Rhodes again during the summer holidays. That is assuming that it is not on fire.
On that topic, a quick discussion on climate change. The wildfires in Rhodes have not been caused by climate change. They have been caused by arson. Climate change means that wildfires are more likely to happen, and when they do they are more likely to be worse, because forests are dryer.
I am aware that by flying there, we will be contributing to climate change, but this is to be our first family holiday abroad in a few years. Besides, the people of Rhodes will need the money that tourism is to bring in.
But, concerns about how wildfires are getting worse has been present before the pandemic. I am not sure if anyone remembers how Trump thought that Finland prevented wildfires. It just appears that governments across the planet are doing too little about this.
