Greek Fir Forests Dying Amidst Rising Temperatures, Droughts

Greek Fir Forests Dying Amidst Rising Temperatures, Droughts

Imagine Greek fir trees are like people who need a certain amount of water and cool weather to stay healthy.

But the Earth is getting warmer, and Greece is experiencing less rain and snow.

This makes the trees weak.

Just like how a sick person is vulnerable, these trees are now easily attacked by tiny bugs called beetles, who eat the trees from the inside out.

Scientists say this problem is linked to climate change.

The authorities are trying to remove the dying trees, but they can't stop the Earth from getting warmer.
