Over 600 fires have swept across Greece scorching hundreds of square miles of land and leaving thousands holidaymakers stranded. Recent extreme heat in the Mediterranean has seen temperatures top 40C, as experts blame climate change for the increasing frequency and intensity of wildfires.

The majority of the fires which have ravaged Greece in recent weeks were started by "human hand", one of the country's top climate officials has said.

Vassilis Kikilias told a news conference the vast majority of fires "were caused by human hands" and said they were "arsons either by criminal negligence or by intention".

However, officials have also highlighted the role of climate change in the recent extreme heat across many European countries.

Mr Kikilias warned earlier that the climate crisis "brought us this unprecedented heatwave".

Over 20,000 people were evacuated in recent days in Greece from homes and resorts, as thousands of holidaymakers were left stranded.

“...as experts blame climate change for the increasing frequency and intensity of wildfires.”

Yeah, the same excuse is used for California’s raging 1500 degree wildfires - many - if not most - of which are set by humans.

Some set by homeless, some by illegal invaders who are lost and use fire to signal their distress, some by old-fashioned a-holes who set destructive fires b/c they enjoy it.

That’s what I thought too. Pretty freaky-looking; especially from the side.
