Despite deploying nearly 2,000 troops and receiving international aid, Spain struggles to contain fires that have already burned an area the size of London. The extreme temperatures reaching 45 degrees Celsius continue hampering firefighting efforts while desperate villagers resort to fighting flames with water buckets when official resources fail to reach them. Climate change is making Europe twice as vulnerable to such disasters, suggesting current response measures may be insufficient.
There is a 49% chance wildfires will destroy a total exceeding 10Mha of global tree cover in any year, before 2031, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
