Glad to see a conclusion to this story & that Future Fire is (rightly) having a say on the international research agenda - careful what you ask for next Hamish!

Great, just great. How am I supposed to sleep after reading that?

The saving grace is that I'm now humming along to Christmas, the most flammable time of the year, so thanks for that anyhow! (was Andy Williams from the Cretaceous period?)

Perhaps you prefer this adaptation of Let it snow...

Well, the ignition was caused by lightning

And the weather is truly frightening

It seems the noose around our necks is tightening

Let it burn, let it burn, let it burn!
