Has anyone seen the concerning problem Europe has with the Asian Tiger Mosquito
It’s serous.

Main Stream Media will follow the tone and directives of their owners, as mentioned above, that's why it's worth supporting independent outlets, if you can find them.
Sorry to hear about that disaster, and GN is a good platform to raise issues, as you will draw in quite a range of experience.
I did not know this at all, Granatlast.
Thank you for bringing it to me.
I wonder if it might have made the news in different times - there is just so much other world news seizing the spotlight.
Iran executed by hanging one of their own yesterday. He was an 18 year old who dared to protest about the brutal evil regime in his country. I pray our government does not let anyone supporting Iran into this country1 I will not hold my breath.
If the Iranian mullahs get the bomb climate change may become moot.

I believe we have passed that point.
The experts predict we are very close. Some say the ice shelf’s and the Amazon rain forest have 😥
It is an awful scenario which i was aware of. The problem is main stream media which only reports what their owners want, generally. I hope it can be put out soon.
I am sorry to read this and my sympathies go out to the people affected.
However, I will have that people have been given warnings about these things for as long as I can remember what thought it wouldn't happen to them.
My fear is it will only get worse and is maybe now beyond repair.
Denial persists, especially in Trump land. He needs to go and as soon as possible before he destroys the whole planet.

Post what you want on contentious issues. Some might disagree and that is their right.
But we should never hide behind the sofa on subjects that effect us all 😄
I was aware of this as I watch several US channels every day.
In my opinion the German station DW is generally the most informative.
Just this morning there was a long talk by 4 German commentators ( one being a green member of the Bundestag) who were unanimous that Germany is falling behind with green energy policies.
The reason being as told by the green member: it is threatening our financial security.
Thanks for commenting positively, I find it difficult to post controversial things and expect to be shot down in flames especially around climate change issues but the problems are worldwide and seeing the bigger picture in a verifiable news source is important.
Perhaps if the moron Trump wasn't constantly hogging the headlineswe might actually get the real news, like this. Climate change responsible, maybe? Drill baby, kill.
I had no idea!
I'm glad you alerted us to this, thank you.
That is so scary and tragic. And am afraid disasters like this will continue and increase. If only world leaders would invest more in guarding against the effects of climate change rather than throwing billions at killing innocent people in wars.
Thank you for sharing. I didn't know about this. I'll look it up. Those poor people and the land. hugs
Given how controversial and often limited the news we see now is, I'm posting something I saw this morning and I can't help thinking that we need to know about unprecedented weather and catastrophic events in the world that directly relate to climate change.
The scale of what is happening in Nebraska right now is an absolute apocalypse. We aren’t just looking at "fires"—we are witnessing the methodical incineration of a state's history. Over 827,000 acres of Nebraska have been turned into a charred, unrecognizable wasteland. This isn't just a "bad season"; it is the single most destructive wildfire catastrophe the Heartland has ever recorded.
From the Morrill Fire to the Cottonwood blaze, the speed has been predatory. We saw a wall of flame roar across 70 miles in less than 12 hours—a literal blitzkrieg of fire fueled by hurricane-force winds and a drought that turned the prairie into a powder keg. This is the "intact prairie"—land that hasn't been touched by a plow in centuries—now scarred so deeply it may take a human lifetime to recover.
Families didn't just lose houses; they lost legacies. Ranchers didn't just lose cattle; they lost generations of breeding. And most gut-wrenching of all, the flames have already claimed the life of an 86-year-old grandmother, Rose White, who couldn't outrun the inferno as it swallowed her homestead. The world might be looking away, but for Nebraska, the sky is black, the land is gone, and the nightmare is far from over.

Perhaps GNers in Australia will have a comment and yes, it's Facebook where many creditable scientists and scientific organisations post as well as news outlets one knows only too well to be wary of.
