We’d love to hear what you thought of the show. Leave your review in the comments below!

As of August 2026

• The Santa Ynez reservoir is still empty.
• Less than 0.6% of homes in the Palisades have been rebuilt.
• Trump continues to call climate change ‘a hoax’ while empowering the fossil fuel industries.
• Alleged arsonist Jonathan Renderknecht’s case ended in a mistrial. Most jurors voted to acquit but could not reach a unanimous decision. He’s due back in court in October.

In stark contrast, winter 2025/6  brought record rainfall to Los Angeles.

UK FIRE FACTS

Think we’re safe 5500 miles away? Here are some fiery facts.

• With climate change creating hotter, drier summers and more days over 40C, wildfires pose an increasing risk.
• A two degree global temperature increase could double UK wildfire risk, and a four degree rise could quadruple it.
• If the UK doesn’t reach net zero by 2050, with rising sea levels and storms, the Thames Barrier could burst and areas of East London could be underwater.
