Link is broken. What I am trying to say is that megafires are pretty much the norm in south of spain, Sicily, Sardinia, greece. They are endemic there. Rhese regions have always had to strictly control on the territory because of such fire. What is happening there is that ongoing economical crisis, that is getting worse, there is no money for such a strict territorial control. But those places were already a bbqs ready to light. Now governments are poorer to prevent and interviene properly.

The main problem of climate changes is that it is extending north the region where these fires happen. Up to places previously unheard such as switzerland! That is the real proof that something bad is going on.

In the past, in south of Italy only Sardinia Sicily and Calabria were BBQs in summer. Now even places northern than that have become at high risk.
