More fear porn. The forest fires in Greece were started by an arsonist, so that's arson not climate change. It's no hotter this year than any other summer. The media in lockstep with the government plant a seed and watch it grow. People still fall for it after COVID. Why does anybody believe these so called experts there wrong every time. Wake up people.
The UK site is basic common sense, unusual for government today, woodlands in a hot dry environment are likely to catch fire, so BBQ's etc are not a good idea. However, lack of education in common sense matters the government needs to advertise, but I do wonder what good it does because those likely to start a forest fire are probably not those who read internet government advice! The same applies to thoughtless drivers chucking cigarettes out of the window, walkers doing the same in forests, or those that chuck bottles into the undergrowth. Education has been very lax in the past 25 years in environment issues, especially as to chucking rubbish into the roadside, and not taking mattresses to the "green park", whether Spanish or English.
