UK wildfires devastated more areas in 2025 than at any time since records began, figures show
Firefighters call for long-term investment and say UK is dangerously underprepared as climate crisis worsens
Wildfires have devastated more moorland, forests and fields in the UK this year than at any time since records began, putting huge pressure on the country’s fire service, figures show.
The Global Wildfire Information System estimates that by November, wildfires had burned 47,026 hectares (116,204 acres) in 2025 in the UK – the largest area in any year since monitoring began in 2012, and more than double the area burned in the record-breaking summer of 2022. Continue reading...

I think it’s pretty clear at this point that one of the main impacts of LLMs is to disrupt thinking: to make it so that far too many people never properly learn how to do it, and then to control the output so there are thoughts that people never learn how to think.

Disagreement on policy is welcome and reasonable, but calling me a Nazi for cosponsoring an ordinance to ban price-fixing is completely unacceptable. Councilor Ryan edited his post, but did not disclose the edit and explain the nature of the substantive change, so it’s here for posterity.

Also: a change in projections is not a change in emissions. It's one indicator of progress: but it's misleading to present it as the best, most reliable or most meaningful, or to centre it too aggressively.

If you want to argue some progress has been made with reducing greenhouse gas emissions - OK. But stop framing it like this. The precision of 2.6°C completely misrepresents the *vast* uncertainties when it comes to climate & social responses & dynamics.
