With Europe facing record heatwaves, wildfires are becoming more common.
@esa's Earth Explorers SMOS, @esa_earthcare, @esa_aeolus and Biomass were not particularly designed for wildfire management, but their data on soil dryness, smoke plumes and forest biomass help to improve our understanding of wildfires, showing how science missions deliver unexpected benefits.

🔥🌍Remarkable #wildfires have developed in northern Portugal in recent days. The smoke plume has significantly degraded #AirQuality locally & is forecast to travel towards France.

Cansada de fazer queixas na Uber e Bolt. Motoristas às voltas 10 minutos a ver se cancelas, ou, como dois (!) só hoje, q dizem “já cheguei” e estavam a 1 km. Não quero ter carro (nem tenho € pra isso), os transportes públicos são de rir e nas plataformas é só esquemas. Que lindo

NEW: Harmful algal blooms lead to deadly biotoxins that can't be removed by boiling or freezing. Preventing them from tainting our shellfish diet is more difficult than before due to climate change and poor infrastructure.

I wrote for @nature about the science of protests - do they work?
Research says yes: protests can influence media coverage, public opinion, policy and voting.💪
More effective protests tend to be large, non-violent and with unified goals.
