Wildfires tore through Spain and Portugal this summer — but they weren’t just natural disasters. A new scientific analysis shows climate change made the fire-fueling weather 40 times more likely and 30% more intense. The August heat wave? It’s now 200 times more likely and 3°C hotter than it would’ve been before industrialization.
With over 640,000 hectares burned and more than 36,000 people evacuated, this isn’t a future problem — it’s happening now. Scientists say events that used to occur once every 500 years are now expected every 15 years.
This 1-minute video breaks down the key findings in simple terms — and explains why these fires are just a preview of what’s coming if we don’t act fast.
