The Latest BBC Climate Fearmongering: ‘Firewaves’

The latest nonsense from the BBC‘s utterly absurd Justin Rowlatt

Despite being caught out, and having to publish retractions, numerous times for lying about the climate, the BBC just can’t seem to help themselves.

This is their latest garbage article:

Cities across the UK are facing a growing threat from an emerging phenomenon called “firewaves” as temperatures rise due to climate change, scientists have warned.

The term, coined by researchers at Imperial College London, describes multiple urban wildfires triggered by extended periods of hot, dry weather.

The warning comes as firefighters battled three separate heath fires in London and a dramatic gorse blaze on Arthur’s Seat in Edinburgh in recent days, as this summer’s latest heatwave left vegetation across both capitals dangerously dry.

These fires, though now contained, highlight the increasing vulnerability of urban areas to wildfires – a risk that was once considered largely rural.

Guillermo Rein, professor of fire science at Imperial College London, has been working alongside the London Fire Brigade to help predict when conditions are ripe for a “firewave”.

Based on current forecasts, he believes London could be at risk again by this weekend.

London Fire Brigade Assistant Commissioner Tom Goodall said he welcomes any research that helps predict the likelihood of wildfires occurring.

The service is “ready to tackle the threat of wildfires head-on to help protect London’s communities and green spaces”, he added.

When so-called ‘scientists’ resort to making up silly terms such as ‘firewaves’ to get attention, you know you are being conned.

Maybe this nutty professor should check his facts first – London is not getting drier summers or springs:

JJA is June, July & August.

MAM is March, April and May.
