Europe continues to silently suffer the consequences of global climate warming. Silent deaths from extreme heat, a silent acceptance of a new normal and the inevitability of wild fires. Silence allows politicians to get away with inaction. "

I was a young journalist in the late 1970s when I began coming across very infrequent mention of where Earth's climate very possibly would go. I heard Jeremy Rifkin interviewed on CBC Radio (early '80s) after his book, Entropy: Into the Greenhouse World was released.
I started including this sort of topic & info in some of what I was writing. Much later, I learned that the first prediction of the increasing CO2 emissions Into the atmosphere, actually published in a scientific journal in 1938, could lead to warming temperatures on Earth.
It's always amazed and appalled me that so many national leaders during these recent decades were willing to ignore the topic in any practical sense.
In our democracies, we still elect some idiots.
Actually, in my region, last year was when the wildfires got closest to my home. But they've been increasing in frequency here over the last 15 years or so.

I'm sure you SF members read the news.
If people one day start flocking to Greenland, I hope it remains the autonomous territory that it is today. That is its status as part of the Kingdom of Denmark.
