The Trump administration wants to deregulate greenhouse gas emissions and the European Union is also revising its Green Deal.

Meanwhile, Spanish firefighters continue to tackle several major blazes in what is now one of the country’s most destructive fire seasons in recent decades. The wildfires are fueled by the heatwave, as temperatures regularly exceeded 40 degrees Celsius across the continent.

To discuss:

Dougal Jerram is a Professor of Earth Sciences at the University of Oslo.
Kaveh Madani is Director of the United Nations University Institute for Water, Environment and Health.
Shel Winkley is Weather and Climate Engagement Specialist at Climate Central, Inc.
Daniel Kreeger is Executive Director & Co-Founder of the Association of Climate Change Officers.

At least three people have died in Spain, Albania and Turkiye and thousands forced to leave their homes as a heatwave fuels devastating wildfires.

Experts have warned that Europe is warming faster than any other continent, as climate change takes hold.
