Cogadh gnàth-shìde na Grèige/Greece’s climate war

As t-Samhradh agus as t-Fhoghar am-bliadhna, dh'fhuiling a' Ghrèig na teintean agus na tuiltean bu mhiosa bho thòisichear a' clàradh an leithid. Bhon an Iuchar, air am biathadh le teas leantainneach is turadh, rinn grunn theintean milleadh air talamh, coilltean is coimhearsnachdan. An uair sin, tuiltean. Stoirm Daniel, a' dòrtadh làn bliadhna de dheàrrsach ann an aon latha ann am meadhan na dùthcha. Chaidh talamh àiteachais a mhilleadh, chaidh còrr is 100,000 beathach a chall, is b' fheudar do bhailtean a bhith air am falmhachadh. Tha cuid nach eil fhathast air faighinn air ais dha na taighean aca. Eadar na teintean is na tuiltean, chaill co-dhiù 45 neach am beatha. Sa chiad phrògram dhen t-sreath ùr de Eòrpa, tha Ailean Peutan ag aithris bhon Ghrèig, is e air a bhith a' coinneachadh ri daoine a dh'fhuiling. Agus le atharrachadh na gnàth-shide ga dhèanamh nas comasaiche do dhroch stoirmean is teas leantainneach tachairt nas trice, tha Eòrpa a' faighneachd a bheil a' Ghrèig deiseil airson na tha air thoiseach.

This Summer and Autumn, Greece suffered its worst wildfires and flooding since records began. From July, fed by extreme heat and persistent dry conditions, several wildfires caused extensive damage over wide areas. Forests and parkland were burnt, and communities were endangered. Then came the floods. Storm Daniel saw a year's worth of rain fall in a single day in central Greece, home to a quarter of the country's agricultural output. Farmland was contaminated, over 100,000 head of livestock were lost, and several towns and villages were evacuated. Many have still not been able to fully return home. Between the fires and flooding, at least 45 lives were lost. In this first programme in the new series of Eòrpa, Ailean Beaton reports from Greece, meeting people who have suffered. With climate change creating the conditions for extreme weather events to happen more often and with greater severity, Eòrpa asks if Greece is ready for what's coming.
