    Wildfires rage through Lebanon & Syria, burning thousands of dunums of fruit trees, olive orchards, and imperiling dozens of villages. Worst fires in decades, suggest climate change is striking the Mediterranean as it is California. https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/lebanon-syria-hundreds-wildfires-rage …pic.twitter.com/vxDk3ARuKg

        OTOH it's not all bad news. Solar & wind passed 10% of global electricity generation this yr, which if you understand the exponential character of technological revolutions, is an important milestone. At last renewables have achieved sufficient scale to make much more impact.

        Are we sure it's climate change the cause of these fires and not some other force?https://twitter.com/VanessaBeeley/status/1314949307951460352?s=20 …

        The effects of Climate change are not this rapid and abrupt. These must be the NATO sponsored “moderate rebels.” With nowhere to go they decided if they can’t have it then they will burn it down to the ground.

        Not really, it suggests the fires have been deliberately set by their neighbours and enemies, especially since the myriad of fires in Syria all started along the border of the Turkish terrorist-controlled zone, all at the same time.

        We don’t think a climate change matter specially when temperature had dropped.

        Yeah but at least California isn’t being sanctioned until oblivion while this happens, unlike its Middle East counterparts. Think how much more difficult it is to deal with these wild fires while the US strangles your economy https://twitter.com/joshua_landis/status/1314967122745982977 …
