So far, I'm not a huge fan of the anthropocene.

    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.

    So basically Los Angeles, with possibly less fire.

    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:

    1. Really fucked up
    2. 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.

    Well, the silver lining is that it's good for finding parchmarks and old unknown archaeological sites.

    Any response?

    Does grass usually stay green in the summer or something?

    Considering the UK and Ireland are famous for getting lots of rain that shouldn't be 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.

    What Australia looks like 10 months out of the year

    Golf courses plant summer grass here in the US southwest. It starts to die off at cool temps, so they seed winter grass too. Looks like there's about to be money in landscaping. Hopefully the UK treats immigrant labor better. 🫤

    That’s pretty much what my city looks like every August. The grass around here only stays green if you water it.

    How hot was it there? Looks more like drought. This spring/early summer was very dry. Had some rain in july but nothing that reached deeper into the soil.

    Aren't (big) heatwaves usually followed by droughts?

    I mean, huge high-pressure fronts tend to chase away clouds and thereby rain, causing a stark rise in temperature, and ultimately resulting in a drought.

    Mind you, this is off the top of my head, so feel free to correct me.

    I saw only the main photo at first and thought, did St. Paul’s shrink that much?

    That looks awful, but I think that's mostly a testament to awful taste (planting huge areas of grass) rather than the weather. Grass looks like that after pretty mild weather.

    You must be kidding. Pretty mild weather is the embodiment of UK weather and when its regular pretty mild weather in the UK this place (the last image in the post) looks like that:

    I'm not a fan of that either. I'm not throwing shade at the UK in particular - the US also does way too much grass. Honestly, maybe the UK does it better, but the overuse of grass in the US and the consequences of such is what makes me find it distasteful (whether it's green or not).

    The upper photo just seems weird to me... why such a huge empty space? I mean I get that it's a park, I'm not suggesting putting up buildings or anything, but... idk, more trees, maybe a pond? Foot paths that aren't straight lines?

    Even the Americans figured out how to do a park (well at least one park, possibly more) and they're a notably anti park folk, I would've thought the brits could manage something better in the middle of London
