Wildfires have broken out in several parts of Italy this week as temperatures keep rising. Emergency services battled wildfires across swathes of southern Europe after a record-breaking heatwave, widely blamed on global warming by scientists and climatologists, settled in last week. This photo provided by the fire brigade of the Gironde region shows a burnt pine forest near Landrias, in southwestern France, on Tuesday. In the Gironde region of southwest France, two massive fires fed on tinder-dry pine forests. In Spain, where emergency crews were tackling fires in five regions, national weather service AEMET also forecast higher temperatures.
