Europe's climate change

NPR -   Europe's heat wave has drawn back the waters of Serbia's river, revealing Nazi-era German warships that were sunk in 1944 during their retreat.

NewsHill -  Human-driven warming has shifted Spain’s climate so decisively that the kind of hot, dry fire-weather behind its recent record wildfires has moved from near-exceptional to relatively routine, with scientists estimating it is now around 20 times more likely than it would have been without climate change.

A World Weather Attribution analysis finds that the extreme fire-weather conditions behind central Spain’s 2026 “record-sized inferno” are now at least 20 times more likely because of human-caused climate change.

In today’s climate, similarly intense wildfire conditions are expected roughly once every six years in central Spain, rather than being exceptionally rare events.

Broader research shows extreme fire-weather days in Southern Europe have more than doubled in recent decades, and Spain’s 2025 fires burned roughly four times the average area of the previous 30 years.
