Prolonged forest fires in Europe??? Is that a thing? I’ve heard of Australia having insanely massive fires (easily bigger than all of Southern Europe) and west coast US having smaller but more intense fires. Where are the fires in Southern Europe?

- onethought 6y agoThere is a prolonged fire season in Greece? Do you mean in 2018? It's not really seasonal.
- jgilias 6y agoGoogle 'forest fires Portugal'. I mentioned Southern Europe not because I would think that the fire problem there is more dire than in Australia or California but because the effects on international migration would likely be different. Affected people in Portugal have a very easy time moving to a different European country and Portugal itself is quite small. So, whereas one could argue that forest fires in the US are unlikely to affect the population dynamics of the US taken as a whole, they are in fact likely to affect population dynamics of Portugal. With people first moving to the coastal areas and Lisbon, and afterwards many moving further to some place like Germany or Scandinavia.
- onethought 6y agoSorry - I wasn't aware that Portugal was Southern Europe my bad. The entire population of Portugal is 10 million. I assume the effected part of Portugal is WAY less that that (given there needs to be a bunch of forrest). But comparing population dynamics of Portugal with the US or Australia isn't apples to apples. A closer comparison would be population dynamics of California, Portugal, Victoria, New South Wales with the event of bushfires, no?
