The only question is why are you lying or at least making a big deal of a forest type that has been burning every year for centuries. What a pile of BS is this "news", fires in the center and North of Portugal have been happening every year in my 40+ years of existence, as well as my parents and grandparents. I remember fires every summer since I was a child. Its how the forest works in this region.This is related to the ground vegetation in the forests which is prone to easy burning. No green stuff grows there, only a dense bush adapts to the hot dry summers, which is just the way it has been for centuries. What the hell does this have to do with climate change? It has been happening for centuries!!! The last decades it has been getting worse, because mountain valleys are no longer farmed, due to young people leaving for the cities, and these small valleys not productive enough to justify farming because the terrain is too rough and hard for farming machinery, can only be done by manual labor or using small unproductive machinery, in other words not profitable. People have migrated for cities looking for jobs, only the old where left behind across villages that are dying and disappearing. Also abandonment of the use of goats and sheep (5 decades ago there were millions of goats and sheep in these mountains, now almost none) that was how my grand-parents subsisted, without those animals means the bush in the ground level is no longer cleaned. For centuries, trees would be cut and wood would be used for cooking and winter warming, now there is gas and electricity for the few remaining people that still live there. Making furniture used to be one of the industries in this area, now everything comes from China. This however is not the drama being portrayed. All that needs to be done is to clean the forest establishing cut lines for fires, but strangely ecological laws put extreme limitations on forest exploration. The irony!

Stupid title. Who’s escaping Portugal because of the weather???

Clickbait title. Why euronews?!

Huge catastroph. No technology. Maybe easier to travel to the moon...
