And the infuriating part is that, even after seeing images like these, there will still be many people who believe climate change to be a hoax.

It's part of God plan libtard! -america
Far right american*
Don't lump us all in with those cunts, we hate them too
*entire government of America, every official position and document, almost all business leaders, and half the country
Looks like they can just say "Americans" now and be accurate.

So far, I'm not a huge fan of the anthropocene.
Hey, try to see the silver lining: it won't be a particular long era.
😂😭
What infuriates me is that geologists plainly assertes that we don't live in the anthropocene.
It's almost like grass lawns are an enormous waste of water.
If they need to be watered, yes. England used to be famous for having lush green lawns naturally. (Obviously not anymore)
So basically Los Angeles, with possibly less fire.
for now. Lots of foresty parks in london
You joke but Edinburgh had a massive wildfire on Arthur's Seat.
Wow! Is Arthur ok?
I live in Edinburgh, 400 miles from London. Large parts of the city look like this. We had a massive Wildfire on Arthur's Seat, our equivalent of New York's Central Park. Nearly died walking up a hill in the city center.
Shits fucked man.
God... I didn't heard about that. What are journalisst doing? Scotland is basically next to France. Why do I hear about tsunami warning in Japan but not that?!
Because the British press only cares about things happening outside of London if it is either:
- Really fucked up
- Related somehow to London.
Here's an article on the wildfire. Yes that is Edinburgh City Center right next to the Fire.
Was this last month? The article is date from 20 July 2026 but other mention I found are from last year. I find article on the same topic from a year ago almost world for world the same for the few recent articles. Is this the second year it happened?
I'm very sorry for you either way.

Green Hill's looking a lot more like Sand Hill right now
Well, the silver lining is that it's good for finding parchmarks and old unknown archaeological sites.
And lots of sunken Nazi ships in rivers
looks like regional Australia during a drought.
~~drought~~ summer.
Ahh, looks like home.
(I live in Australia).
When I read this, the comment right below it said:
Looks like a still from the original Fallout
Any response?
Kangaroos in Fallout wouldn't even need to change, they're already threatening enough.
A radiated mob of Emus would be terrifying to stumble across though.

What Australia looks like 10 months out of the year
Does grass usually stay green in the summer or something?
Yes absolutely. Lived in London for 18 years, till 2023 and never seen anything like that. Grass was always green throughout summer.
Silver lining to this is that boomers can stick it up their bum with their summer of '76 as it's now been hotter and drier.
Considering the UK and Ireland are famous for getting lots of rain that shouldn't be really surprising
I've just always lived in places where it goes brown, assumed it just went brown in the summer everywhere. Like I live in the Pacific Northwest, we get a good amount of rain it being a rainforest, it's raining right now, grass is still brown 🤷
Yes I usually have to cut the grass every 1-2 weeks from around April though to late September. I think the last time I cut it was may, it's just stopped growing, and now I'm starting to get a dead spot in the middle that gets the most sun. Everywhere that is normally green is just dead short grass.
Grass here grows so fast in the summer even though our temperature is similar because it's (thankfully) our rainy season. It dies back in the winter or at least slows way down.
Unfortunately our rainy season has not yet dug us out of the historic drought of the last couple years.
ETA we do not water the "lawn" though, it just does what it does. Is mostly weeds. I do water the food plants.
They do (used to) in my climate as well. The higher part would turn yellow just a week or two before wieltering and only if the grass could grow enough to produce seeds.
