From NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE KNOW THAT<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wildfire activity in southern Europe was below average last year, according to the latest data from the EU. The trend is clearly downwards since 1980, contrary to the disinformation spewed by the establishment media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BBC\u2019s Matt McGrath, for instance, recently claimed that a warmer world increased the chances<\/a> of devastating wildfires occurring, while the Guardian\u2019s Damien Carrington also falsely stated that \u201cglobally, scientists agree that <\/em>climate change is increasing<\/em><\/a> the global risk of wildfires starting and spreading<\/em>\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last summer the BBC went into full propaganda mode over some fires in Greece, even though the burnt area was actually below average:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And in December, a BBC World Service broadcast falsely claimed that a warmer earth was making \u201cdeadly fires in Spain and Greece increasingly common<\/em>\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n
