I don't know about that. The Iberian peninsula is not historically at much risk for natural disasters, and we now suffer alternating forest fires and floods pretty much every year...

I remember forest fires yearly in northern Spain in the 80s. Are they more violent now?

Climate change deals frequency, rather than novelty. Oh and as crypto bros like to say: we're early.

Mostly they seem to have planted a lot more Eucalyptus, which makes the fires worse. The severe floods on the other hand seem to be catching everyone by surprise.
