Britain recorded its hottest day on record last Tuesday, sparking a series of wildfires across the UK. Firefighters in London described the blazes tearing through homes and buildings as'absolute hell' after receiving 1,600 calls for assistance. They warned the public that wildfires are likely to break out every three years, and that the destruction of homes should be a'wake-up call' to the country. Global experts are urging countries to reach their net-zero targets and halt climate change. This is widely agreed to be the leading cause of the recent spate of wildfires, as rising temperatures evaporate more moisture from the ground, drying out the soil and making vegetation more flammable if sparked.
