Clowns setting off fireworks for a baby reveal like in Manchester is absolutely ridiculous. Bunch of morons.
Anyone still saying "its called summer!"
I am in my 70's and the UK has always had wildfires, it is a natural event that leads to regeneration of the land.
This Climate Change rubbish has got to stop. Even NASA states that their satellites show the world becoming greener and my garden and my surroundings in the UK are proof of this.
Arson
It’s summer 🤦🏼♂️
So stop geoengineering! That might help. Far too much messing around with nature and climate. But It's not the climate causing fires. It's numpties who don't realise that summer dries out vegetation and do stupid things. Jeez, don't fall for the propaganda.
Climate change getting scary AGAIN 😭😭😭
Time to go plant based humans.
That is not good…
Its not wild fires its arson you idiots . Stop this climate BS
whats with the dramatic music, BBC? We are not Americans, we know how things are, we do not need music to tell us that we should pay attention to the news.
What climate emergen… oh wait.. 🔥🔥🔥💀🦴🦷
Why did british news lie about the quantity of people who died during the heat wave? What is the nefarious agenda that causes UK intelligence agencies to lie?
Climate emergency! 😂😂😂
It's not just climate causing these wildfires, but also really stupid people. I live near the Dovestoves and Tintwistle moorland fires and it's been 3 weeks so far. The Dovestoves one is more recently with a stupid person letting off fireworks in a landscape that is like kindling. And it's very windy here, all around the moors, people who live here, know this and most normal people know what not to do. I sincerely hope the firework idiot was a tourist.
More climate nonsense from da Beeb
It'll be arson again
Pushing the climate change bullshit.
It's been pissing down for the past 3 week , the sun only come out 2 days ago
The cause and foundation of the wild fire problems is Italy and France Paris and America in jesus mighty names Amen,,,, salam Aleikum,,, wa Aleikum salam
Reporting stuff that happens on a regular basis as if it's something unusual is despicable propaganda.
You guys aren’t ready or this contact Australian fire fighter assistance
BBC shoving the 'climate change' crap down our throats before telling us anything of note. One 'electric' car burning pollutes more than a forest of trees from 'global' warming.
9:35 before even mention of climate change
Where all of sciencent and rich countries or businessman are gone who insulting of nature for selfish stuff. Why are not coming in front line rather than innocent people.
BBC, don't believe a word they say
get a mask save yourself look up they are spraying the sky with chemicals causing carbon monoxide killing us while at it to steal more farms
Please continue you make me lose money in World Cup this is your lesson. Come find me
The one thing that's not mentioned is the number of wild animals killed in theses fires, poor things.
damm
Are they saying that the sun caused the fire? Vegetation etc. Combusts at around 300 C. If it ever got that hot everything would burst into flame, including people, These fires are stated by people ,deliberately, accidentally or carelessly. Lightning or suns rays through glass can ignite dry vegetation. But the weather is not causing fires.
The sun cannot cause fires , it needs to reach 300 c . People start nearly all fires. A bright sunny winters day could see fires start if the suns rays is magnified through glass etc.
The sun does not get that hot to start a fire. 300 C is the temperature needed . If it got that hot we would all be dead.
I HAVE BEEN TO BEDAR MANY TIMES…
We should prepare ourselves for hotter weather in UK more effectively.
BBC, why did you refuse to show the Reform press conference discussing the death of Ann Widdecombe and the threats made to other Reform members? Even Sky showed it. Left wing bigots!
