Just a minor remark:
“Wildfires burned through 390 million hectares in 2025 – equivalent to 92% of the European Union’s land area – yet the costliest event of the year, the January fires in and around Los Angeles, burned just 23,000 hectares while causing more than USD 53 billion in damage.”
… Wait, what?!
“92% of the European Union’s land area”!
