Climate change made deadly wildfires in Turkey, Greece and Cyprus more fierce, study finds
Climate change that has driven scorching temperatures and dwindling rainfall made massive wildfires in Turkey, Greece and Cyprus this summer burn much more fiercely, said a new study released Thursday.

Deadly wildfires in southern Europe linked to climate crisis
Researchers found that weather conditions which drove deadly fires in Türkiye, Greece and Cyprus were made more intense by climate change. They expect similar results from their ongoing analysis of blazes in Spain.
