Human-caused climate change made Spanish, French fires much more likely, scientists calculate

Human-caused climate change significantly increased the likelihood of extreme fire conditions in Spain and France, with studies showing a 20-fold increase in risk for Spain and a doubling for France. Research indicates warming over the past 26 years has tripled severe fire risk in Spain and raised it 40% in France, while Southern Europe's extreme fire-prone days have more than doubled compared to decades ago.
