Our past forest management practices are a part of it, but climate change is also a huge part: <https://www.c2es.org/content/wildfires-and-climate-change/>

I don't think it meshes well with Spanish wildfire stats [1]. I can't see any serious trend there, definitely nothing like California. The main difference is that they manage their forests and do prescribed burning.

I can't speak to Spain, specifically, but the relationship between climate change and wildfires is well-established. See for instance: https://www.preventionweb.net/files/73797_wildfiresbriefingn...
