This summer, Spain and Portugal were engulfed by some of the most intense wildfires in recent history — burning over 640,000 hectares of land and forcing tens of thousands to evacuate. But here's the shocking truth: scientists say climate change made these fires 40 times more likely and 30% more intense.

This 1-minute video breaks down a powerful new report showing how rising temperatures and drier conditions — fueled by oil, coal, and gas — are turning seasonal wildfires into unstoppable infernos. We’ll also reveal how the heatwave that triggered the fires was made 3°C hotter due to global warming and why this could soon become our “new normal.”

With record CO₂ emissions and a world heating up fast, experts warn: these fires are just the beginning unless we urgently shift away from fossil fuels.

00:00What if I told you this summer's deadly wildfires in Spain and Portugal
00:04were 40 times more likely because of climate change?
00:07This year, wildfires tore through over 640,000 hectares of land across Spain and Portugal.
00:13At least eight people lost their lives.
00:16Tens of thousands were forced to flee.
00:18And scientists now say this disaster wasn't just bad luck.
00:22A new report shows that climate change made the fires 40 times more likely
00:26and 30 percent more intense.
00:28The heatwave that triggered them?
00:30Three degrees Celsius hotter than it would have been without global warming.
00:34And it doesn't stop there.
00:36These kinds of heatwaves, once nearly impossible, could now happen every 13 years.
00:42Firefighters are battling blazes behaving in ways they've never seen before.
00:46Creating their own winds.
00:48Jumping across hills.
00:49And choking entire regions with toxic smoke.
00:52These wildfires aren't just a warning.
00:55They're a glimpse into a future we're sprinting toward.
00:58Unless we shift away from fossil fuels.
01:00And act now.
01:02This won't be the last summer the world burns.
01:04Pain means.
01:04Pain is a better to lay up.
