And people, armed and ready, rushing into the flames. This could be the wildfires of California, 2024. The tsunami-hit city of Alexandria in 4th century CE Egypt.

As storms, heatwaves, wildfires, floods and cold snaps intensify and become more frequent, new technology is emerging to help them on the ground: slinky robots that can slither …
