Deadly wildfires raged on Wednesday in Europe, where thousands of firefighters struggled to beat back flames fed by high winds and scorching heat. The blazes, which were burning in Spain, Greece, Turkey, Montenegro and Albania, have killed at least six people and injured dozens. nyti.ms/415eJz5

The Hadley Cell, which used to keep many heat domes to the south of the Mediterranean during the summer months, is gradually weakening due to climate change. The Azores Anticyclone, which normally sits over the mid-Atlantic, is slowly moving northwards, increasing heat dome frequency and duration.

The expansion of the Azores Anticyclone northwards is weakening the North Atlantic jet stream, reducing the frequency of cyclones and associated weather systems from tracking across Europe, with a significant reduction in rainfall already reported in both Spain and Portugal.

summer wildfires have always occurred in southern Europe, and some of the worst years happened long before the modern climate debate (e.g., Spain in 1985 and 1989).

However – over the past ~20–25 years, extreme years (especially in terms of total area burned) have become more frequent in some regions, even as the number of fires has decreased in certain countries — a structural shift noted by forestry agencies.

Part of the perceived increase is due to better detection (satellites), faster reporting, and unified EU monitoring, not solely to physical climate changes.

Summer wildfires are a long-standing feature of the Mediterranean climate, not a new phenomenon. What has changed is the scale, monitoring, and visibility — amplified both by environmental conditions and by today’s instant, global media coverage.

Every fucking year!! What they fail to mention is, only 5% is from natural causes, 45% is negligence, but 50% is arson (forests) because 100% assholes are exploiting loopholes to build on wildfire-scorched land. This is a major problem in Greece, Spain, and Albania, where wildfires are rampant.

Yes, this. I tracked the arson cases around the time of the Pasadena fires and even after the fires got started, they caught numerous arsonists lighting fires (or attempting to light them) and making it worse after the fires were already raging. They have a variety of motives for doing it.

Some were anarchists, some delinquents, some were homeless and I wonder if maybe someone paid them to do it. Also, there are always a few arsons (usually around 3 am or so) that are people trying to collect on insurance. Don't know how prevalent they are but if the fire gets out of control...

Yes, most fires are started by people. Once they get started the climate has much to do with the severity and spread, but the simple truth is that the majority of fires are caused by people and one of those causes is arson. Even after fires start there's sometimes more arson to make them worse.

I wasn't claiming otherwise Fossil fuels, heavy industry, deforestation and farming, cows, transport, and buildings drive climate change—pumping CO2, methane, and N2O into the air.
