🔥🇦🇷 Argentina | Wildfire Reaches National Route in Patagonia

In Chubut Province, Patagonia, a major wildfire continues to spread and has reached National Route 40 on the stretch between Epuyén and El Hoyo.

🚧 Due to the advancing flames, traffic on the highway is under threat, with possible restrictions or temporary closures. Firefighting and emergency services are operating under difficult conditions, working to contain the fire front and prevent further spread.

UK Government must legislate to: - Tax jet fuel - Increase other taxes & duties on planes with few passengers - Require fuel for outbound flights to be bought in the UK to avoid tax evasion and curb carbon emissions - Require private jets to carbon offset From Jan‘22-Oct‘23, private jets of 200 of the world's richest people emitted the same amount of carbon as almost 40,000 Britons. In 2022 alone they made 27793 flights - just 0.5% of the 5.3m private flights that year, while public airlines formed only 7% of UK emissions. Right now jet fuel isn’t taxed at all but we think it could raise billions in tax income to improve people’s lives. We think this data show the disproportionate impact of the privileged few. We believe the government need to act to bring an end to this.

A WORD OF CAUTION FROM @wendellpcg HE WENT THROUGH KATRINA WITH HIS FAMILY AND SHARES HIS THOUGHTS ON #ALTADENA 🙏🏾💔 “AFTER 50 YEARS OF PAYING INSURANCE PREMIUMS, WE RECEIVED ONLY $400”. - #TeamDL

Thor, bring rain to slake Surtr's thirst and bring respite to the people in his path. ⛈️ Kari, send the winds to steer Surtr's fires away from beloved homes. 🌬️ May the spirits of those lands find peace and recovery. Bless the firefighters, inmates and free folk, and guide them to safety. 🧑‍🚒Hlifthrasa, clear the ash from their lungs. 🫁 Let all be calm again.
