What is the connection between climate change and agriculture?
Why are wildfires becoming more and more frequent in Europe? And what can we do about it?
Dr.Emilio Chuvieco Salinero is the winner of the Jaume I Prize for Environmental Protection 2022 and a Professor of Geography at the University of Alcalá and director of the UAH Chair of Environmental Ethics. He has been the scientific leader of the Fire CCI project of the European Space Agency since 2010, and also serves as a scientific coordinator for the European project FirEUrisk. Emilio is the author of 33 books and 402 articles and was included in the “World’s Top 2% Scientists’ ranking of Stanford University in 2020 in the area of Engineering Geology and Geomatics. As such, he is the perfect partner for us to dive into the controversies of climate change with, and explore a topic that became especially relevant this past summer: wildfires.
At a time where political discourse has taken over the climate debate, this episode tries to bring the topic back to scientific grounds and the down-to-earth world of farming.
Whether you are looking for some arguments to counter climate-change-deniers or want to know what the main causes of wildfires are (and what shepherds have got to do with!), this one’s for you.

This is woke propaganda. There is no proof whatsoever of man’s measurable effect on climate. All the data purporting to show a connection is the result of agenda-driven funded research by the elite who stand to gain from the rush towards the unscientific and (fortunately) unachievable aim of Net Zero. CO2 is an ESSENTIAL plant food without which photosynthesis cannot exist. We need MORE CO2, not less. There are plenty of worthy measures to improve soil health, optimize irrigation and generally reduce waste and dependence on harmful chemicals. But tying it all into the fashionable but false narrative about ‘climate change’ simply dumps you in the climate cultist camp and reduces your overall credibility. Mountains of credible data exist debunking ‘climate change’ claims yet this fails to make the mainstream media and you have fallen victim to the propaganda
Thank you for sharing your thoughts on our recent post. We value your opinion and appreciate your feedback. However, we respectfully disagree with your assertion that there is no proof of man’s measurable effect on climate. The overwhelming majority of scientific research, conducted by experts from around the world, has established that human activity is contributing to climate change. As a company that values sustainability and the health of our planet, we feel it’s important to address this issue and encourage our community to take action. While we understand that there are differing opinions on this topic, we stand by our commitment to promoting sustainable practices and reducing our carbon footprint.
