Through mid-2026 the numbers are still lower than the record setting 2025. We will see how August and September go. You just grab whatever leftwing nonsense you can find that supports your panic. Let us know where the “Climate Crisis” is. They got here by lack of conservation and proper forestry. That is changing after the 2025 season.
Europe has been actively updating and expanding its approach to forestry management, with a stronger focus on wildfire prevention, climate adaptation, and sustainable practices—especially accelerated after the record 2025 wildfire season (over 1 million hectares burned in the EU).
Key Recent Changes and Initiatives
• EU Integrated Wildfire Risk Management Strategy (March 2026): The European Commission released its first comprehensive strategy emphasizing the full cycle: prevention, preparedness, response, and recovery. It highlights active and sustainable forest management (e.g., thinning, pruning, species diversification, firebreaks, and forest roads) as essential for reducing fuel loads and building resilience. The Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) is positioned as a key funding source for these measures in 2028–2034.
BTW, the heat island of Keokuk Iowa reached 118 degrees for a high on July 20, 1934.
