While part of Australia is under water, another part is surpassing itself trying to survive fires... as well as looking for possible perpetrators.
At the opposite end of the spectrum, Greece is recompensing setting trees and forests on fire.
Especially when it leads to real-estate development. Presently, homes built without planning permit and on grounds cleared by fire are receiving legalised status.
Greece is the country where burning down trees is the consecrated ticket to obtaining a home. Or the most profitable method to engage in real-estate development. It is slow in producing its yield, but it is dependable.
Yup. While Australia is in literal mayhem, Greece is presently and yet again legalising tree-burning of the '90s vintage. In other words, buildings of that era and before, erected on burned land, are now being legalised. The later millesimes have yet to reach the age of maturity, so fresher home dwellers & tree-burning societies have to be patient; their turn will come.
On a more financial note, it is cheaper to burn a few bushes, trees, forests, other peoples' land... and build and wait patiently for the thing to be legalised -- than purchase the legal equivalent.
The Greece paradigm affords an important lesson to the global community: burn to build.
(The greenery in the pic was added post-building.)
Hopefully Australia will not follow the Greek example. I don't think it will.
For now, however, for stricken and threatened Australians, any and all talk is useless. Let's all pray; and let those who can do more, do it.
