Wildfires are raging in Europe.
On Sunday, firefighters tried to control wildfires raging in France and Spain. Just south of Bordeaux in southwest France, two fires have been burning for six days, and pine forests have been destroyed, forcing about 14000 people to evacuate, including many people who are going to the campsite for vacation.
In Spain, firefighters, with the support of the Armed Forces Emergency Rescue Team, are trying to put out more than 30 forest fires in the country. The Spanish Ministry of Defence said that "most" of its firefighting aircraft have been deployed. Many areas are rugged and mountainous, and it is difficult for ground crew to enter.
The drought conditions in Iberian Peninsula make it particularly prone to wildfires. Some wildfires are caused by lightning, some by accidents, and some even happened after a large amount of hot air was blown from Africa last week.
In Portugal, the pilot of a firefighting plane was killed when it crashed on Friday. In Spain, the second heat wave in summer has been above 40 degrees Celsius (104 degrees Fahrenheit) in many areas, and often reaches the peak of 43 degrees Celsius (109 degrees Fahrenheit).
According to the data of Carlos III Institute, which records daily temperature-related deaths, 360 people died of high temperature during July 10 to 15. In contrast, there were 27 temperature-related deaths in the first six days.
In France, a fire broke out in LaTeste-de-Buch, near the Atlantic coast, forcing 65,438+00,000 people to flee the popular area of Akaxiong seaside resort. The provincial government of Gironde said on Sunday that "the situation is still unfavorable", because gusts of wind combined with hot and dry weather caused more fires overnight. This led to a long struggle to protect the camp.
The second fire broke out near the town of Landis in the south of Bordeaux Vineyard Valley. The authorities were forced to evacuate 465,438+000 people last week, including about 65,438+0,900 people on Saturday. Authorities say dumping white sand along a two-kilometer (65,438+0.2-mile) section has controlled one side. However, the other side is still out of control.
The temperature in this area is expected to be as high as 40 degrees Celsius (104 degrees Fahrenheit), and Monday is expected to be the hottest day of extreme weather in July.
Some of the most worrying fires in Spain are concentrated in the western areas of Estremadura and Castilla Leó n. Fernando Grande-Malaska, Minister of the Interior, announced the establishment of a joint command, which will take over the coordination efforts to put out active fires in neighboring areas. Firefighters couldn't stop the fire near caceres, which threatened Monte Fraghi National Park and prevented 200 people from going home. Another fire near the southern Spanish city of Malaga forced another 2,500 people to evacuate.
The largest reservoir in America has dried up.
The situation in the United States is also not optimistic. Wildfire season is getting longer and longer, fires are getting fiercer and fiercer, high temperature has broken records, and lakes are shrinking. Climate change has aggravated the severe drought in the western United States, and the largest reservoir in the United States has dried up the Colorado River.
The Associated Press wrote: The low tide in Lake Mead National Recreation Area exposed countless forgotten and stranded dried fish and boats. Boats, sailboats and motorboats ran aground, creating a surreal scene in the rugged desert landscape. The buoy, once marked as a no-ship area, is located in the soil, and there is not a drop of water anywhere in the field of vision. Even a sunken ship that visited the lake during World War II surfaced at low tide.
The mighty Colorado River, which separated Nevada from Arizona, once flowed under the wall of the Black Canyon until the Hoover Dam was built in 1935 for irrigation, flood control and hydroelectric power generation. The reservoir is now below 30% of its capacity. Since 1983 reached the high water mark, its water level has dropped by 170 feet (52 meters), leaving bright white deposits on the walls of the brown canyon.
Most of the ship ramps have been closed and the wharf has been moved to deeper waters. A sign marking the water level in 2002 stood strangely above a road that fell to a distant ship and skidded. The drop in water level not only affects cities that depend on future water sources, but also affects rowers who have to sail in shallow waters and avoid islands and sandbars lurking underwater.
/kloc-0.7 trillion institutional funds fled the stock market.
Extreme weather and complicated political and economic situation are always testing investors in this market.
According to the data analysis of public order flow as of July 5th, JPMorgan Chase estimated that institutional investors had withdrawn $258 billion from the stock market this year. BlackRock, the world's largest asset management company, recently warned investors not to try to "buy on dips" or buy stocks that are being sold.
After three years of double-digit growth, the market will be scarred in 2022. Decades of high inflation are hurting businesses and families, and investors are worried that raising interest rates by the Federal Reserve will only plunge the United States into recession. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index recently ended its worst first half in more than 50 years.
Many people are more and more worried when checking their 40 1(k). Some people sell stocks at a loss and save their money as cash. Others can only watch their portfolio assets decrease.
But according to The Wall Street Journal, some amateur investors saw an opportunity. The number of retail customers of Morgan Stanley, the parent company of E*Trade, increased from 7.6 million at the end of March to 7.8 million at the end of June. They make an average of 880,000 transactions every day.
In March, individual investors bought $28 billion of American listed stocks and exchange-traded funds, which is the largest monthly amount recorded by VandaResearch since it started tracking data in 20 14. From April to June, this figure dropped to about $25, with an average of $0 10 billion per month, although it was still much higher than the level before the epidemic. For example, from April 20 19 to June 20 19, this figure averaged $3 billion per month.
