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 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.

During heatwaves and fire episodes, climate alarmism often runs amok despite data often being cherry-picked or out of context. All too often, climate alarmist slants are designed to lead towards obstructionist energy policies. These bad-faith narratives must be kept in mind when there are inevitable wildfire and heatwave situations.
