Parts of Europe are in the midst of another heat wave while firefighters battle blazes across the continent, including in France, Spain, Greece, Britain and Germany. Three firefighters died in Greece on Tuesday. The Guardian reports new figures show more than 1 million acres of land have burned this year — more than triple the recent historical average. A new report in the Scientific Reports journal has found climate change has sparked a “major intensification” of fires.

In Britain, a large fire broke out in Suffolk just miles from a nuclear power station. This is Jude Bayly, who was forced to evacuate due to the fires.

Jude Bayly: “The devastation of this area, which is a natural beauty, and the wildlife is just awful, and I understand that this area may take, after this fire, decades to recover. And this is obviously going to be a repeating cycle with climate change the way it is.”
