Thread. Latest alarmism by BBC reports of #Siberia (duh cold) burning! Except, what they don't tell you is its normal for Siberia to hit high 90s in summer, & LONG history of cyclical EXTREME #fires seasons going back centuries. Arson also factor last year for eg.
#DefundTheBBC
Now notice that latter graph is from their OWN report last year looking at satellite date which concluded
"although fires this year have wrought significant damage to the environment, they have been worse in the past"
But you know, the Ministry of Truth changes its mind from
time to time just as in the Orwell book. Fear & moral panics sell news after all, and perspective doesn't. Particularly with the 'agenda' driven by the Davos elite atm. Now not this means climate change may not be a factor, but this is pure propaganda for dramatic effect playing
to people's perception of Siberia as cold place. It isn't: has a continental climate with hot summers & as stated LONG history of extreme fire seasons. Here in protected Russian forest areas from 1950s to 1999 for eg ) Note temps up to 38 degrees reported fig 2 published 1996
That is 100 degrees yet we are told this a record temperature lately!

Fires & high summer temps have been part of the Siberian history a very long time
