That's a very bad take, as it covers only fires in Corfu specifically (and that see other replies regarding that), but not the extreme heat in general over Greece, Italy ( https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/jul/25/italy-wildfires-palermo-temperatures-sicily-airport-heatwave https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/jul/25/italy-wildfire... ) and most of the rest of Europe, and the other fires in other parts of Greece, e.g.
Rhodes https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-66297476 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-66297476 , Evia https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/jul/24/greece-wildfires-corfu-evia-rhodes-heatwave-northern-hemisphere-extreme-weather-temperatures-europe https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/jul/24/greece-wildfir... etc.
Reducing Europe's summer 2023 to "The Greek wildfires" - fires plural - and then to "some arson on Corfu" is ridiculous minimisation.
- EgregiousCube 3y agoI don't intend to reduce Europe's summer to Greek wildfires, in fact quite the opposite, I want to point out that they are a bad example because their causes are still being investigated. Rhodes's firefighters also suspect arson ( https://greekreporter.com/2023/07/26/wildfires-arson-greece/ https://greekreporter.com/2023/07/26/wildfires-arson-greece/ ) and arrests have been made on Kefalonia ( https://greekcitytimes.com/2023/07/25/kefalonia-two-arrests-for-the-fire/ https://greekcitytimes.com/2023/07/25/kefalonia-two-arrests-... ).
