This is a fire currently burning out of control in Alexandroupolis, Greece.

They are currently evacuating everyone in its path, including the hospital. https://greekreporter.com/2023/08/22/alexandroupolis-hospital-evacuated-wildfires-greece/

As mentioned a few days ago, https://mastodon.green/@peterdutoit/110920113513702018 climate refugees will not necessarily be from far away places but from local communities, sometimes from the next town or village.

The displacement and movement of people is set to increase dramatically with each 0.1°C of warming.

We are currently heating at about 1.22 W/m2. http://www.columbia.edu/~jeh1/mailings/2023/UhOh.14August2023.pdf

The month of June was the hottest ever recorded - above +1.4°C above the preindustrial average https://www.threads.net/@hausfath/post/CwPBjN7rkX_/

So was July at 1.54°C https://berkeleyearth.org/july-2023-temperature-update/ and

August is set to break its record too. https://www.threads.net/@hausfath/post/CwNsVAixJ8w/

If we cannot find a way to slam the brakes on our current emission trajectory there is a lot of disruption, pain and misery in our collective futures.
