VOICED : Una inusual ola de calor asfixia a España

Spain has experienced four extreme heatwaves in the past 10 months, with the latest starting on June 11, matching the earliest recorded heatwave in 1981. These events are becoming more frequent and intense due to global warming, with temperatures rising by 1.7 degrees in Spain and 2 degrees in Europe since the preindustrial era. The prolonged heatwaves extend summer by over a month compared to the 1980s, leading to significant health risks, including 1,800 heat-related deaths annually in Spain. Environmental impacts include increased wildfire risks and reduced water resources. Scientists attribute these changes to greenhouse gas emissions, which amplify the intensity and frequency of heatwaves.
