Blazing Infernos and the Futility of Human Effort Against Climate Change A wildfire in Los Gallardos, Spain, has claimed 12 lives, exacerbating the toll of this summer's heatwave in southern Europe.
The blaze highlights the growing sense that human efforts to combat climate change are increasingly futile.
Last year saw a record 393,000 hectares burn in Spain, more than six times the average for the preceding decade.
