Sicily - which has already been brought to its knees by a prolonged heatwave - is battling wildfires that are threatening towns and cities across the island.
Yeesh, this is horrible. Looks like something you'd see in a movie
EDIT: Turns out this is an artist's rendition according to another comment. Not sure why they're using this movie-like image rather than an actual one. Regardless, hope they can get through this.
the climate change is going slowly then all at once, now we are at the all at once phase
If these posts are trending then here it is no different than reddit if not worse.
It's gotten pretty bad lately and by this point I do feel like I see more misinformation on here than on Reddit. Lemmy has successfully managed to become more like Reddit than Reddit itself.
It's kinda sad, there were a few days in which it really felt like this space would be different, but right now, I either go on /sub and barely see any content because most of the communities I want to follow are fairly inactive, or I go on /all and it's mostly americans calling eachother Nazis over the slightest political disagreement, middle-class doomers going on about how their lives are horrible even though they're better off than most of the world and every "serious" community, whether it's news or politics or etc. is filled to the brim with misinformation (and more doomers).
People are already circlejerking below about capitalism over this fake pic, nice, cheers.
The farmers' association, Coldiretti, said Sicily was facing an "unprecedented catastrophe and incalculable environmental damage".
The minister for civil protection, Nello Musumeci, wrote on Facebook: "This is one of the hardest days in Italy's history for 10 years. Climate change has hit our nation and demands that we all change our ways. There are no excuses."
