'Nearly 214 ha burnt' -> please correct the error. The burnt area is one thousand times that number...
The EU isn't ready.
Of course, cooperation is a good thing. But please compare these numbers with the new, inflated military budgets. What are we even talking about? A single squad of F-35 shovels more into the US military industry than the entire shared EU firefighter infrastructure.
And meanwhile, the environmental policies continue being diluted, the fight against climate change is scaled back, and the largest parts of the funds are just channeled into shiny industry projects with no benefit at best and horrible consequences at most (CCS, nuclear, gas, fossil fuel subsidies, car-centered infrastructure...).
The solutions are known: #degrowth, #agroecology, #SustainableMobility, #OpenSource...
It is so sad that we are wasting this precious window of opportunity where we have still administrative capacity and some control over where we are heading.
