Wildfires recede in France and Spain

European authorities announced that the wildfires in France and Spain have been extinguished after gaining control, despite ongoing fires in Greece. In southwestern France, evacuation orders were lifted for 144,000 people out of 220,000, following a fire that lasted for more than a week. The severe heatwaves caused by global warming—Europe experienced an increase of 3.3°C above the normal temperature—have resulted in large-scale forest destruction and air pollution from burned vegetation. In Greece, firefighting efforts continue on the island of Crete, with strong winds expected to complicate operations. Hundreds of tourists and residents have been evacuated. Meanwhile, Spain has ended the state of emergency in Madrid and Ávila, although some residents are still unable to return home, as efforts to extinguish other fires continue. Data indicates that climate change is a primary cause of the increasing frequency and severity of forest fires across Europe.
