‘I live in constant fear’: surge in giant sinkholes threatens Turkey’s farmers

Falling groundwater, extreme heat and water-intensive farming are accelerating land collapse, forcing a rethink in agricultural practices

Fatih Sik was drinking tea with friends at home when he heard a rumbling sound outside that grew to a loud boom, like a volcano had erupted nearby. From the window, he saw water and mud shoot into the sky, as high as the tallest trees, less than 100 metres away.

The 47-year-old knew what it was, because it is common in Karapınar, Konya, a vast agricultural province known as Turkey’s breadbasket. A giant sinkhole had opened up on his land. Fifty metres wide and 40 metres deep, it had appeared almost a year to the day after a previous one had formed. It was August – the hottest month of the year.

Sik was born on the farm he now owns, which his father ran before him, yet he says scientists have told local people the area is no longer livable. One house nearby has collapsed into a sinkhole. “Every night I pray before I go to bed and when I wake up I pray again,” said Sik. “I live in constant fear that a sinkhole will take my house.”

Konya, part of the once-fertile Central Anatolia region, gave life to ancient civilisations, including what is believed to be the world’s first agricultural society, at Çatalhöyük, in about 8,000BC. It is dotted with the remnants of water cults, Hittite sacred springs and Roman aqueducts, and once offered vital watering holes to traders on the Silk Road. Now, though, the land is drying up. Turkey is on the brink of a major drought crisis, with almost 90% of the country at risk of becoming desert.

Tohle je výborný text na téma novodobé historie Íránu a jeho složitého vztahu k USA, která mimo jiné připomíná, jak úžasný hipík a pankáč byl Jimmy Carter :-) Téměř takový Gorbačov Ameriky :-)

nihilistanabalkonu.cz/l/operac

"I Markétě Pekarové Adamové by se ten projev nejspíš líbil, přinejmenším ta část o tom svetru."

"Ale nikdy, opakuji NIKDY nesmíte po Američanech chtít, aby jezdili do práce autobusem. To už je moc. To je nepřekročitelná červená čára. A Carter ji tehdy překročil."

"Bůh zkrátka neměl Jimmyho Cartera nikdy rád, zatímco Trumpa z nějakého důvodu zatím toleruje."

Některé dílčí detaily jsou mi povědomé, jiné si neumím zařadit do správného kontextu, protože jsem v té době byl příliš malý (i díl časopisu ABC o obnovitelných zdrojích si pamatuju...) a žil na špatné straně železné opony.

Ale neuvěřitelná propojenost Íránu se západními energetickými krizemi je stejně fascinující. Ještě, že se u nás už dnes nic nevyrábí, takže jediným důsledkem současné krize bude, že si Filip Turek nezazávodí s dětmi...

로봇하니까 생각났는데 예전에 러시아 제르노빌 원자력발전소 사고 났었을 때를 기반으로 만든 영화가 있음. 거기서 가장 기억나는 대사가 있다. "가장 값싼 처리 기계가 있잖아요." "사람." 이러고 사람이 직접 원자력 발전소 터진거 수습하고 후유증 겪는 사람들 말 새어나가지않게 언론 다 막는거 생각남.
