Part 2 of 3 in Fraudulent Climate Science and Global Corporations
I write this article on Day 4 of the Aude Fire in Southern France, close to where I have a house. At the moment, 17,000 hectares of land in the Aude Department have been burnt, many villages completely gutted, transport and electricity cut over a vast area, and a flame front that yesterday took up a length of 80km. Deployed against this fire are 2,500 firefighters, 2,000 of whom have been fighting the fires for 3 days now without rest, backed up by 9 Canadair airplanes, which can scoop up 6,000 litres of water at a go from bodies of water, as well as numerous firefighting helicopters and over 600 fire engines. Despite all this firefighting capacity, the fire was only brought under control by the end of the third day.
The French department of Aude occupies roughly 6,000 km² in the South of France, with its eastern edge stretching from north of Narbonne down to slightly north of Perpignan on the Mediterranean coast, it stretches Wast over a rocky, dry, and hilly area known as the Corbieres to the world-famous medieval city of Carcassonne.
