- Ben Jennings published an opinion cartoon in The Guardian depicting wildfires sweeping across southern Europe.
- The cartoon situates the regional blazes — affecting Spain and France among other countries — within the broader climate crisis context.
Why it matters: By publishing a cartoon rather than straight reporting, The Guardian's opinion desk uses Jennings' visual style to distill the political and environmental debate around southern Europe's fire season into a single image, giving readers a shorthand reference point for the climate-crisis framing of these disasters.
