The latest fraud from Reuters:
They claim that:
“Wildfires have burnt 227,000 hectares of land since the beginning of the year – more than double the average for this time of year over the past two decades.
While far above average, it’s not the highest in EFFIS’ records, which go back to 2002. Europe had particularly bad fire seasons in 2003 and 2017, when blazes burnt more than 1,100,000 hectares in each year – an area equivalent to the island of Jamaica.
It’s not yet clear if 2025 will be a record year, as that will depend on how the fire season evolves in the coming months.
The number of fires in Europe has also surged this year so far, with 1,118 blazes detected as of July 8, versus 716 in the same period last year, EFFIS said.”
They naturally blame it all on climate change:
“Scientists say the Mediterranean region’s hotter, drier summers put it at high risk of wildfires. Once fires start, plentiful dry vegetation and strong winds in the region can cause them to spread rapidly and burn out of control.”
The actual data shows they are lying through their back teeth.

Throughout the summer so far, wildfires have been bumbling along at a low level. However, cumulative fire area in Europe is well above average because of a spike in fire activity in February and March, which occurred in Romania, not around the Med.
84000 hectares burnt in three major fire outbreaks there at the time.

Romania of course does not have a Mediterranean climate, it has a temperate continental one, meaning it is not prone to wildfires. The fires in March had nothing to do with climate change, but were deliberately set for land clearing, as Romania-Insider reported at the time:
The authorities have linked the fires to intentional actions by residents attempting to clear land, a practice that has led to blazes spreading across vast areas, often in difficult-to-reach locations.
DSU head Raed Arafat emphasized that the wildfires were not caused by weather phenomena such as lightning but were intentionally set. “At this moment, we cannot attribute these forest fires to high temperatures or lightning. They are solely the result of deliberate actions by individuals – either those who have been doing this for a long time or those who intentionally set fires to clear fields or burn dry vegetation,” he stated, as quoted by Digi24.

So much for “Information you can trust”!
