气候变化使得葡萄牙和西班牙极端热和野火的可能性增加了40倍。 Climate change has made extreme heat and wildfires in Portugal and Spain 40 times more likely.

世界天气归宿组织(WWA)最近的研究表明,气候变化使伊比里亚半岛极端热量和干燥性助长野火的可能性增加40倍。 Recent research by the World Weather Attribution (WWA) indicates that climate change has made the extreme heat and dryness fueling wildfires in the Iberian Peninsula 40 times more likely. 研究发现,7月和8月的天气状况比工业化前时期的恶劣程度高约30%。 The study found that the weather conditions in July and August were about 30% more intense than in the pre-industrial era. 这些条件导致破坏性的野火,造成8人死亡,35 000多人被迫撤离,640 000多公顷土地被烧毁。 These conditions led to devastating wildfires that killed eight people, forced over 35,000 evacuations, and burned over 640,000 hectares of land. 研究人员还指出,人口从农村地区向城市的转移,导致被忽视的过度种植的农场和森林,加剧了严重火灾的风险。 Researchers also noted that population shifts from rural areas to cities, leading to neglected overgrown farms and forests, have exacerbated the risk of severe fires.
