So several places on earth have now gotten so hot, they’ve literally burst into flames. And people still deny climate change. 🤦‍♂️

The incident in Canada in 2021 was interesting/troubling because they were already in the news here for breaking the national temperature record for 3 consecutive days in a row. And then the last day the whole town burned down.

I didn't know France and Spain were prone to wildfires.

They already were, but it's gotten worse. And it will get worse I guess, given the pathetic response from the government and most of the political class.
