A Natural Disaster①
Smoke and ash from Evia, a rugged island of forests and coves close to the Greek mainland, blocked out the sun② and turned the sky orange. The fire, which began on August 3, is the most severe of hundreds in the past week across Greece, gobbling up pristine pine forests as well as homes and businesses and forcing hundreds to quickly evacuate by sea to save their lives.
Greece has been baked by its worst heat wave③ in three decades, which sent temperatures up to 45 degrees Celsius and turned its prized pine forests into bonedry tinderboxes.
Greek authorities ordered villages near the site of the ancient Olympic Games in the western Peloponnese to be evacuated as wildfires raged across the country, destroying swathes of forest and buildings④.
Thousands of people have fled their homes⑤ on the Greek island of Evia as wildfires burned uncontrolled for a sixth day.
The EU said it was mobilizing “one of Europe's biggestever common firefighting operations” to help Greece and other affected countries.
Nations have delayed curbing their fossilfuel emissions for so long that they can no longer stop global warming from intensifying⑥ over the next 30 years, leading to more frequent lifethreatening heat waves and severe drought⑦.
