The severe impact of climate change and global warming caused by man-made fossil fuel burning has put the world’s ecosystems in an unprecedented crisis.
A recent assessment published in the last week of August 2026 by the European Environment Agency and international meteorological researchers reported that more than 500,000 hectares of forest have already been burned in wildfires in Europe and its surrounding regions due to intense heatwaves and the worst drought in history this summer.
The extent of the crisis and natural disasters: According to scientists, the faster global temperatures are rising than in the pre-industrial era, it is having a direct impact on wildlife and river basins.
Record-breaking wildfires and biodiversity destruction: Thousands of people have been displaced by megafires or wildfires in the Mediterranean basin and southern Europe. This has caused the forever loss of unique wildlife and natural areas, leading to real economic and environmental damage that cannot be repaired.
Unprecedented water crisis in Europe’s major rivers: Severe drought and lack of rain have caused record low water levels in Europe’s four major rivers—the Loire, Po, Rhine, and Danube. This has disrupted river-based communications, agriculture, and the cooling of nuclear power plants, leading to a major collapse in energy production.
Conclusion and Green Page’s view: This relentless destruction of nature proves that the climate crisis is no longer a distant future threat, but our greatest bitter reality today.
Green Page thinks that to protect the world from the coming Super El Niño and global warming, we need to quickly limit carbon emissions and use more renewable energy.
