Blaming climate change for Spain's wildfires lets politicians dodge real accountability — these fires were sparked by a collapsed power line, misused machinery and deliberate human action, not a climate apocalypse. Decades of neglect in forest management, bureaucratic barriers that effectively ban livestock grazing and gutted firefighting budgets did the rest. A genuine fix means slashing red tape, restoring rural land use and massively increasing fire prevention investment — not recycling climate talking points.
