Nutty Professor Warns Of Firewaves

The latest nonsense from the utterly absurd Justin Rowlatt:
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.
