Perhaps they - the fossil fuel enamored political classes - will care if one of the world’s greatest cities burns down due to a Climate Change fueled fire…. They didn’t care about Lytton. Barely bothered to rebuild it.

Quoting
French firefighters are tackling a blaze of unprecedented scale sweeping through Fontainebleau forest south-east of Paris,
while in southern Spain the prime minister visited the scene of a deadly wildfire and warned:
“The climate emergency kills.”
The fire in Fontainebleau, a one-time royal hunting preserve about 40 miles (60km) from the French capital
that today is dotted with villages,
began late on Sunday afternoon.
The blaze, which is unusual in its proximity to Paris,
raced across about 800 hectares (2,000 acres) of forest.
By Monday afternoon it had not been contained
and “continued to progress moderately,” said Pierre Ory,
the prefect of Seine et Marne department.
The Paris region remains under the highest heatwave alert.
The mayor of Fontainebleau, Julien Gondard, said he was shocked and angered.
“This exceptional area is consumed by flames,
we’ve never seen anything like this,”
he told the local TV station ICI Paris Île-de-France.
“The forest is fragile and it’s in a critical condition.”
