#Climatecrisis | #UKfirefighters have warned that 2025 is on track to beat the national record for #wildfires, with frontline staff “pushed to their limits”
In #England and #Wales alone, crews have already tackled 856 wildfires this year, the National Fire Chiefs Council (#NFCC) said – a third higher than the record-breaking totals seen in 2022 and six times the number recorded last year – warning that hot and dry weather means the figures will likely only increase

Fire chiefs warn UK is not prepared for climate crisis impacts

The #UK is not prepared for the impact of #ClimateBreakdown, fire chiefs have said, as they called on the government to take urgent action to protect communities.
The National Fire Chiefs Council (#NFCC) said the ability of fire services to tackle #weather-related emergencies was at risk, despite them often being the primary frontline response to major weather events including #flooding, #fires caused by #heatwaves, and #storm-related emergencies, all of which are becoming more common.
The #MetOffice predicts that winters by 2070 will be as much as 4.5C #warmer and 30% #wetter than they were in 1990, while summers may be up to 6C warmer and 60% #drier. The south of England is projected to face temperatures reaching 40C (104F) and #rainfall is expected to increase by a quarter.

After careful consideration and getting some time off, I just put in my reservation for Nackte Furry Camping Con at the end of March. This will be different...naked furries outdoors with lots of adult programming and posing opportunities.

I know the planning for this one started a bit late and was juggled, and many locals have time off already tied up with TFF, but if you're interested, all the info you need is on the flyer in this post, and I should be able to answer a question or two: https://tiggi.es/@istences/111738826938223179

Heck, I'd be willing to split a tent with someone too...sure we could get that figured out. The staff is very responsive.

Jumped in the chat prior, and it seems to be an affable bunch, which is par for the course for those comfortable with casual nudity in my experience...
