Wildfires erupt on Greek island of Kos

Wildfires have erupted on the Greek island of Kos, sparking a second day of intense battle for firefighters. The fires have forced both tourists and locals to evacuate the area as the blazes continue to rage.

Greece is no stranger to wildfires, but the combination of hotter and drier weather, which is linked to the effects of climate change, has resulted in an increase in the frequency and intensity of these fires. This has posed a serious threat to the residents and visitors of the island.

The situation on Kos serves as a stark reminder of the devastating impact that climate change is having on our natural environment. It is imperative that we take action to mitigate these effects and work towards a more sustainable future.
