Greece’s prime minister says the country is facing a crucial situation and cannot keep fighting fires on multiple fronts.

Thank you cause i live in greece
Thank you 🇬🇷
@Different Mario Bros 🙏🏾
Imagine if it’s someone/ some organisation starting all these fires.
@Πέτρος Σ’ yes truly awful.
I also find myself thinking about historical battles and how setting fires were used as a tactical option.
The aim to cause destruction/low morale to the people/hunger/economic collapse etc.
Many battles Forrest fires were used. From William Wallace to Vlad the Impaler.
However yes natural fires happen too.
@Panos ειμαι μετεωρολογος και δεν το πιστευω ποσα εγκεφαλικα κυτταρα εχασα με αυτη την μαλακια που ειπες, αν ειναι ετσι ρε φιλε καθε φορα που φευγεις για διακοπες το σπιτι σου πρεπει να γινεται καρβουνο η οι μεγαλες μας πολεις να πιανουν φωτια στα κεντρα ΕΝΑΣ ειναι ο φυσικος λογος να πιασει φωτια ενα δασος ΚΕΡΑΥΝΟΣ ολα τα υπολοιπα ειναι ανθρωπινη ενεργεια
@dianna hunter Είσαι μετεωρολόγος και εξόχως ευγενέστατη/ος πάνω απ’όλα, μην το ξεχνάς.
Φυσικά, πάντα υπάρχει και ο ανθρώπινος παράγοντας και είναι ο κυριότερος παράγοντας για την εκδήλωσή τους στη χώρα μας και για αυτό και είναι τόσες πολλές οι εστίες (πυρομανείς, εργασίες μέσα ή δίπλα από δάση όπου υπάρχουν αποθήκες, οικισμοί, εγκαταστάσεις, κολώνες της ΔΕΗ κλπ, αμέλεια) αλλά η “απορία” του ανθρώπου ήταν αν ένας παγκόσμιος οργανισμός είναι αυτός που κατακαίει τον πλανήτη και σε αυτό απάντησα πως λέγεται αυτός ο οργανισμός γιατί η χαζομάρα κάπου πρέπει να σταματάει.
Αν οι καιρικές συνθήκες δεν είναι ευνοϊκές, η φωτιά δε θα εξαπλωθεί με τόσο γρήγορο ρυθμό.Για αυτό και δεν υπάρχουν μεγάλες καταστροφές όταν οι συνθήκες δεν είναι ευνοϊκές για τη δασική πυρκαγιά.
Οπότε ξαναβάλε τα εγκεφαλικά κύτταρα σου στη θέση τους, θα σου χρειαστούν και ποτέ η ιδιότητα κάποιου δε δίνει βαρύτητα στα λεγόμενά του. Γιατί και ο Αινστάιν είχε πει διάφορα για το σύμπαν τα οποία στηρίχθηκαν στις προσωπικές του πεποιθήσεις και όχι σε επιστημονικά δεδομένα που άλλα έδειχναν.
Αλλά κανείς επιστήμονας δεν είπε “Ααα, αφού το είπε ο Αινστάιν θα ισχύει”.
Άρα κατά την επιστημονική σου κρίση ως μετεωρολόγος και εφόσον δεν έπεσε ούτε ένας κεραυνός, αν δεν υπήρχαν υψηλές θερμοκρασίες για τόσες μέρες θα είχαν τέτοια έκταση και ένταση οι φωτιές ή όχι και ποιό είναι εκείνο το στοιχείο που δυσκολεύει την αποτελεσματικότητα των εναέριων μέσων;
Ποιό είναι δηλαδή το “κερασάκι στην τούρτα” που κάνει τη διαφορά για το αν θα καεί η χώρα ή όχι;
@Panos ειπα “ολα τα υπολοιπα ειναι ανθρωπινη ενεργεια” δεν ειπα εμπρησμος (σε αυτη την περιπτωση ειναι σιγουρο)
ανθρωπινη ενεργεια μπορει να σημαινει πολλα πραγματα γυαλια τσιγαρο και οτι ξεχασμενο που μπορει αρπαξει φωτια ανάφλεξης μηχανιματα μπαταριες, το μονο φυσικο ειναι οι κεραυνοι που πεφτουν στις μεταβατικες περιοδους κλιματος ανοιξη και φθινοπωρο ομως μαζοι τους πεφτει και η βροχη η μητερα φυση σκεφτηκε τα παντα μονο εμας δεν σκεφτηκε
@dianna hunter Συμφωνώ απόλυτα σε αυτά που λες, απλά λίγο ευγένεια δε βλάπτει καμιά φορά. Δεν είμαστε όλοι bots, άνθρωποι είμαστε…

Why not line the highway with volunteers ?
What is the point of watching from a distance.
A 4 lane carriageway is an ideal fire-break.
prayers for Greece:(
Why not praying for finally finding the courage to act (instead of praying I mean)
America is burning, Turkey is burning, Spain is burning ,Italy is burning , Floods in Europe ,we are still battling Covid 19, this is not coincidence but Apocalypse .END hours , Christ is returning soon. We need to repent.
HARD _ Work have been done, so that would be fair to rescuers team acomplishisment of their jobs with, in the Athena’s Ground, where the flames has tear the City down. In advance of events the time and energia deployed by all envolved, its has turned few efectives, “THE WATER DROPPED IS BEING DRYED BY FLAMES”, It was said by one eyewitness.
Praying for everyone’s safety inshallah.
this is Judgement. The Most High aint playing.
wish it was easy to stop
90% fires are set in Greece,arsonists all kinds
You are 100% correct
is there any proof found? is there any report about this? just curious that it happen simultaneously in California and Turkey as well
@ma ta sure.
@A K yes some aravian immigrant and some people of greece
GOD IS SHAKING THE WHOLE WORLD. N STILL NO ONE IS LISTENING. WAKE UP REPENT GREECE.
@This is me that’s your believes. Search up what’s going around the world. Not only Greece other countries. Pay more attention. No one is blaming God but God is doing something for people to REPENT N turn back to him. Rebellious hearts cause God to do what hes doing now to the world. Remember in the bible God is not only a loving God but a judge n furious. So when sin increase to the heavens he will bring famine, fire, earthquake, …read it it’s in the bible. Global warming is to cover up God, no one can control the world but only GOD HIMSELF. he has the world in he’s hands. N he’s grace is pouring out but no one seem to take it.n pay attention to he’s love. So repent for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
@gene vulaca I see you studied hard…
@This is me it’s part of following Christ and knowing he’s will for years because he’s the way the truth and the life not this world. Choose Jesus. You study global warming hard too but didn’t seem to solve anything.
@gene vulacaSorry to say but your way hasn’t exactly got us anywhere solving the solution either
@gene vulaca STFU!!!!
climate change is here… people did that and now they got what they deserve
There is no climate change!But they cause it!With so many fires!Have you heard of HAARP?
🇦🇲🇬🇷
🇬🇷❤️🇦🇲
This has a positive thing, it makes their government busy with fires ans not killing their people with vaccines. Thanks you dear fire
Pray for Greece🇬🇷❤️
Pray.allah.for.rain.and.will
Extiguish
ONE LADY SAID IT FEELS LIKE HER COUNTRY IS UNDER ATTACK WELL ISNT THAT STRANGE HMMM LIKE MAYBE A WEATHER WEAPON OR HAARP WELL THEY DID SAY THE FIRE WAS OUT AND THEN MAGICALLY IT APPEARED AGAIN
Yes… not natural. Video evidence > Explosions in forests.
Why this heppan is so bad
I politici hanno distrutto la Grecia non e cambiamento climatico ,ma sono i porci che hanno venduto la Grecia
Certo
it has been hot lately. bad weather
I am sadden it has come to this for different countries around the world to take humanities abuse of the Earth etc. seriously (billionaires playing in space leaving space junk for the next future generations to deal with).
YES YOU COUNTRY IS UNDER ATTACK BY GOD ALMIGHTY JESUS THE CHRIST.
Not God, but the stupidity of humans set the fire
Why is it when a natural disaster or who knows even arsonists , and still you say God is bringing destruction? I don’t buy it ,if there is a God, he would be about love and peace, not murder and destruction . If I have compassion and sympathy , why should I expect less from God since he created me in his image ?
FIRST OF ALL YOU ARE A FOOL, GOD CALL YOU A FOOL,PSALM 14:1-3,(KJV)THE FOOL HAS SAID IN HIS HEART THERE IS NO GOD.
Oh no save Athens,preying for you all ..🇬🇧
They have to said sorry to Ethiopian peoples, because the government needs will help Egypt with wrong way ——“
This is the work of Satan
@Jaskan Factor Yes the rulers of this world who have nothing in Christ Jesus
@Nyko Ezekiel HAIL SATAN our true lord and saviour HAIL SATAN may his power enslave god and jesus, may jesus walk in chains again for Satan is powerful and the King amongst kings HAIL SATAN

Sorrow Hearts From Turks 🙂 for our next door neighbors. let’s join Turkish Tree planting holiday November 11, every year in Turkey , we should get every country to join in this Tree planting Festival, holiday Turks started. they are our Lungs no matter where they grow, let love of tree bring the World together to be free
Athens is the cradle of modern civilisation. They should protect all ancient monuments at all cost
Yunani marine police throw immigrants on stone island in agean sea.they should protect poor people, this people run from war and just use yunani to going another country.
@Amier Rayyan MalayaClan And?What does this have to do with what our people are going through?Trying to push an agenda eh?
God bless Greece. prayers from Philippines
we dont need your prayings. We need you to stop polluting
Thank you!
You cant fight the planet. as you sow, so shall you reap
If you pause at 1:46 there is a guy literally standing over the dead grass with his cigarette!
the man needs his smoke
climate change is a hoax.
God save Greece and save the people and animals there 🙏
Papapoulos can only watch ?? Well no, he could also act. But he won’t. He will put his tv on and watch a Netflix movie…
What was happening in this world?😢
Gee what a coincidence…fires everywhere starting up again
You know, before 911, there werent _anywhere near_ as many “natural disasters”, “mass shootings”, world population threatening “pandemics” or any other crazy events with such the frequency as we have them happening current day
Seems like every other day there is a mass shooting or mass fire or mass earthquake or mass riot or mass whatever terror…make any sense to you? Or is it just life and there are people using simple life as propaganda to fill people with fear so the can be better controlled??
Where is Macron, Greta and Di Caprio the forests saviors.
Neoliberal mitsotakis deostroys the country. many voted for him and he burnt down their homes!!! no planes to fight the fire, no fireman, nothing. only money to media to say all the time, that everything goes perfect. mitsotakis was at Crete for vacations and there were live broadcasts for the people to see him while he is on beach and takes photos and two days after the fire had started , he decided to return to Athens. He destroys the nature to build german electricity windmills and sell puplic land. he is a dictator with the EU blessings. Greek people want to be friends with many countries which are peacefull with good intetions but west pushes greece to make enemies.
This is really sad to see people lose their jobs and their homes. Be praying for all of you and the Animal’s as well.
You need to pray to Jesus
It’s time we started holding the corporations who have been enriching themselves by raping the environment for years for HUGE $$$$ (Exxon, BP, etc.) accountable for some of this.
I don’t care about my house just so much deers dog horses are dying ❤️🥺
They voted for it
I hope you are ok🙏🏼
Turkey and Greece 🙏🤲🙏🤲
🙏🤝🤲 Tessekurler
@Renntech Sorrow Hearts From Turks 🙂 for our next door neighbors. let’s join Turkish Tree planting holiday November 11, every year in Turkey , we should get every country to join in this Tree planting Festival, holiday Turks started. they are our Lungs no matter where they grow, let love of tree bring the World together to be free
It is burning in my COUNTRY CROATIA,But we are sent 2 AirTractor Canaders to help in GRECE.
The fires are also started in Serbia,Bosnia and Hercegovina,Kosovo,Montenegro……These fires are no natural,some PSIHOPATS that work for polititans are spreading FIRES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bravo Tomislav you are a smart man, you are writing the truth. Rich get richer.Thanks Hrvtska, hvala bogu pozdrav od Atinu.🙏🤝
Energy in any form can’t be suppressed, it could only be transformed. Whatever is given to Planet Earth, is returned in transformed form. The consequences are always destructive.
We are living those movies .
1:47 Guy smokes a cigarette. Well I guess why not. My heart goes out to them though. This is too much.
Everything is pointing towards arson, when the first fires broke out there was no wind whatsoever, it could have been kept under control. No firefighters came no police, citizens helping each other, the people were putting out the fires. Once the blazes were out of control, then, firefighters came,,,too late. It was as if the government wanted this to happen, just too many eyewitness reports on the lack of help from the authorities.
The cause of the fire should be investigated, and preventive measures taken, in order to stop such incident from repeating itself. Praying for GOD to help the world.
I believe it has something to do with the record high temperatures that hit the beginning of the week. Temperatures of over 114 degrees where experienced for the first time ever.
@Tobias Cobarrubias that could be true, but investigations should be made through the satellites to see the real cause of the incident.
@Daniel Kukwa it is a perpetrated attack they have found gas tanks and explosive devices everywhere in the burned areas there are aerial videos of explosives going off in the forests this is war not climate and the whole world needs to know the truth
@M K and who did it in your opinion? and what was the goal?
I pray for our Greek brothers and sisters from Armenia 🙏🏻🇬🇷🇦🇲
🇹🇷 Turkey forever
Neighbour Greece we can get your pain we are fighting same problem in Turkey. God help us all 🇹🇷🇬🇷
Neighbour Turkey our thoughts is only for our and your people. Not for the governments.💣💣💣
🙏🤝🤲
@Renntech governments in the world only for making war and problems. Yes maybe we are not best friend country together but as a culture we are the closest other than the other European countries. Specially fire 🔥 l would not want any place in the world 🌍
@Renntech Same here, we do not like Puppet sold out Greek government either .he made Greeks are renters in their own country sold them to everyone, Greeks do not own anything now, they pay rent and dues on everything from their Gas +++++++ to their banks ,they are bankrupting nd buying countries now.Greece even offered to sell Islands , go figure that one out
This is a perpetrated attack they have caught paid arsonists and found gas tanks and explosive devices everywhere in the burned areas there are aerial videos of explosives going off in the forests this is not climate this is war and the whole world needs to know the truth! . It is the same in Turkey!
Such beautiful Mediterranean countries Turkey and Greece are in trouble, I hope this too shall pass quick, greetings to Greece from Turkey, God bless Our Forests!
DEW – ask the people in California… (oh sorry – Direct Energy Weapon – it’s a Laser) NO CLIMATE CHANGE
Just seen this on the news. People thankfully safe on the beach but losing their homes. Something that you think will never happen to you. My thoughts are with you ❤ it doesn’t matter where I am from.
εμείς, οι άνθρωποι της Δημοκρατίας του Κοσσυφοπεδίου, είμαστε μαζί σας σε αυτή τη σοβαρή κατάσταση φωτιάς, προσευχόμαστε στον Θεό να μην υπάρχουν θύματα.
this is why you people accept modern ideologies,
1:48 and there’s this dude, smoking in a field of dry grass at 47°C
The reason why it spreading is that you never ever put water on a Greece Fire!
Cataclysms take place all over the planet. And besides, they are synchronized. A lot of scientists spoke about this at the conference “Global crisis. This already affects everyone.” People around the world, in order to survive, need to unite in a new format of interaction. Not in consumption. in creation.Creative society
The real reasons are much deeper. They were considered at the International online conference “Global crisis. It already affects everyone”, organized by volunteers – people from 180 countries. It has 72 languages of translating. This event helps all people wake up and face the truth!!! We are not nations, contries and governments – we are Humanity. We all have a right to live, and to stay alive in these circumstances. In the circumstances of increasing disasters. We, all people, must unite!
I hope you will soon .. It’s so terrible .. The poor people and animals. We Turks are cheering for you with .. 🇹🇷🇬🇷🇹🇷🇬🇷🇹🇷
Ezekiel 25:13 Therefore thus saith the Lord God: I will also stretch out mine hand upon E’-dom,and will cut off man and beast from it; and I will make it desolate…
my c Ock: 25:40 You shall be inseminated, thus you shalt bend the Lord on his kneels and Ram it in with rigorous force… Thou shalt not be erupt unless Jesus, son of the greatest Cu ck, not begging for thou apple juice… God shall kneel and work his mouth on thou shaft, till the white flow dumpens his gobs…
Re Think your stuff
Can people STFU with prayers?
Praying is not going to make the wildfires magically stop! It is rather an insult to every victim suffering this!
Fire in Greece! No climate change it is government business work. Many people leaves from villages. The prine minister Mistotakis have shares in ‘Terna Energy Company’ this is wild energy park. Him and Mr Gerapetritis the general minister the womens father is president and the owner of the company. This is a reason fires is everywhere all of this areas because they want to make business. The situation is tragic the trees of Natura animal and bees burns. The environmental in Greece has been destroyed.
Sorrow Hearts From Turks 🙂 for our next door neighbors. let’s join Turkish Tree planting holiday November 11 every year in Turkey , we should get every country to join in this Tree planting Festival, holiday Turks started. they are our Lungs no matter where they grow, let love of tree bring the World together
GREEK BROTHERS ALL SUPPORT FROM SERBIA we will send you help dont worry, i pray for you 🙏
This is a perpetrated attack they have found gas tanks and explosive devices everywhere in the burned areas there are aerial videos of explosives going off in the forests this is war not climate and the whole world needs to know the truth

Horrific, these poor people and wildlife!!! Look up NASA GLOBAL FIRE MAP….nearly all of South-Africa and Malagasca is on fire too!!!! GLOBAL WARMING still isn’t been taken seriously!
على الفكرة القوة المضادة للحريق هي التكبير، لازم تركيا ترفع التكبيرات في المآذن في كل تركيا
Thousands of people are already dying before our eyes and millions are left homeless! Humanity needs to know the truth about the global crisis! We must direct all our efforts towards building a Creative Society in which human life really comes first!
I hate plastic!!
Not so wild we had arson… 😡 Tragic they want to put after there wind generators
Evia,my island is burning.I am to the southern side when the north side is burning.
I hope the firemans can stop the fire soon and nobody will be hurt more.
Be praying for everyone!
The only hope now is to convince as many people as possible about transitioning to a Resource Based Economy. Our planets Resources, Animals, Land etc. are now more important than the elite’s wealth.
My prayers are with innocent people.
So when will you all start planting trees? For sure, you aren’t gonna do it after Ur house is also burnt!! What are you guys waiting for 🤔 plant trees get the global temps down.
Buchtet die Grundstücks Spekulanten ein ,!
Ezekiel 20:45-49
New King James Version
Fire in the Forest
45 Furthermore the word of the Lord came to me, saying, 46 “Son of man, set your face toward the south; [a]preach against the south and prophesy against the forest land, the [b]South, 47 and say to the forest of the South, ‘Hear the word of the Lord! Thus says the Lord God: “Behold, I will kindle a fire in you, and it shall devour every green tree and every dry tree in you; the blazing flame shall not be quenched, and all faces from the south to the north shall be scorched by it. 48 All flesh shall see that I, the Lord, have kindled it; it shall not be quenched.” ’ ”
Soros and climate change are behind this
Man made
They are burning the forests around the world to increase the temperature of the planet… We have to stop the globalists they are destroying our planet
