I know what you mean dove. So who’s in charge of doing something about climate change, if we have no alternative we will continue our behaviour as we are.
Dartmoor always dry, it’s just granite, very little soil, there’s always someone starting a fire up there.

Same here on Dartmoor, but you have to search for that information, we are told all of the fires are automatically igniting due to our actions causing climate change.
It's not but it makes a good story..and for the MSM - primarily the BBC & Sky that's really all that matters. I'm more worried that the management & the response to drought in the UK is co-ordinated & part managed by the Environment Agency...in fact knowing what I do about the efficacy of the EA I'd be sh+tting myself.
If the ground wasn't so dry and it wasn't so hot, a lot of the fires caused by carelessness would not happen, so of course climate change is part of the problem. Why have the fire service in Yorkshire been to 10X more fires this summer than last?
How can you lie there and think of England When you don't even know who's in the team
Surely that is because Europe is generally hotter than us, our maritime climate has prevented us seeing the more extreme picture in central and southern Europe.

@Dovefromabove and @punkdoc especially because of climate change it is needed to tell the truth and do stop calling them wild fire. They are mostly caused by humans and we have to tackle that problem.
The term "wild fire" just means it's in nature (not urban) and out of / hard to control. Humans usually start them, one way or another - cigerettes, bbqs, arson...
I guess some parts of the world are prone to lightning strikes.
They do @Fire. They would start them even if it wasn’t so hot and dry. But who is going to do anything about it. An arsonist would start a fire in a oven if he wanted too.
I’m just fed up with people telling us it’s our fault when it isn’t, no one will stop any activities until it is forced on us . Attenborough told us this would happen back in the 80’s. And they knew what was happening at the beginning of the 1900’s. We all do our bit, that’s not going to do any good at all in the grand scheme of things.
My daughter, a classic example, on an aeroplane to New York, will have more holidays later, I asked her if she felt guilty about the pollution one plane chucks out, no she said, it will fly anyway whether we are on it or not. So there you have it. Nothing much will be done, as it hasn’t very much over the past decades.
Right.. grumps over, better wash up in my 2lts of water.
