    Terrifying but sadly all too predictable as temperatures rise. You’d hope this would wake a few of the deniers up as it’s more local than some of the countries people chauvinistically dismiss. But alas these people would still be posting their copy and paste, Trump n dumpster science support, while the fire or flood is on their doorstep.

    @Niall English: You do realise that ever more parched woodlands catch fire ever more easily, which spreads ever more quickly?

    @JOHN O CONNELL: You mean when there were only a few millions of people?

    And vast areas of the planet were covered in forests?

    Imagine that!

    @JOHN O CONNELL: Those fires were caused by a collision with fragments of a comet. What is your point?

    @Padraig O’Brien: Plato, Aristotle Euclid’s geometry aid the foundations for European rationality and scientific inquiry, and influenced the development of European science and mathematics. The epics of Homer and the tragedies of Euripides and Sophocles deeply influenced European literature; their Greek humanism, that emphasized individual dignity, profoundly affected the development of European and American literary traditions. The music of Ancient Greece, particularly the theoretical frameworks of harmonics developed by the likes of Pythagoras, laid the foundations of Western music theory. And the political ideas of Ancient Greece, particularly the concept of democracy as practised in Athens, have had a lasting impact on European politics and systems of government.

    @David Jordan: I frequently reread an old school text book on ancient Greek history by Bury.
    (Am reading it again at the moment.)

    Fascinating.

    And then (c)rap came along and that all went out the window.

    Here in Bulgaria the fires started in June and keep going. There is several at any given time, and once a fire is put down, another one starts in a different place. There are constant appeals for volunteers to help the fire service, who are exhausted. Turkey sent fire trucks to help, and the Chesch republic sent two planes. What seems to be missing is coordinated EU level approach to this – Southern Europe is burning, and will continue burning every summer. Did someone ask Ursula what the plan is?
