U Grčkoj, gdje je u seriji masovnih požara 2007. izgorjelo skoro 200.000 ha šumskog, poljoprivrednog i drugog zemljišta i gdje je širom zemlje poginulo skoro 80 ljudi, jaki vjetrovi i temperature, kao i paljevina, okrivljeni su za novi val požara ovog ljeta.
In Greece, where a series of massive fires scorched nearly 200,000 ha of forest, farm and other land, and killed nearly 80 people around the county in 2007, high winds and temperatures, as well as arson, were blamed for the new wave of wildfires this summer.
