[Sir Tigger KC]

I wonder how long it will be before they tell us the power outage in Spain, Portugal and parts of France are because of climate change?

Unusual atmospheric conditions over Spain, apparently

All man made of course. Maybe they've been spraying chemicals in the upper atmosphere?

You can't prove a negative, but you're welcome to submit any evidence you have .
You can confer with Migalot if you want to.

It’s Putin FFS🍿

Where did you hear that? The BBC?
You'll believe anything!

I don't need to confer with Migalot to suspect something weird has happened here. 

A 'rare atmospheric phenomenon' so rare, that we have never known anything like this happen before! 

I wonder what caused the 'rare atmospheric phenomenon' though?    Carbon dioxide?  Solar flares? Spanish farts?

Never is a very long time. Something like the Carrington event of 1859 could have caused this (and much worse).

[LC0112G]

There have been numerous power outages worldwide over the years caused by solar storms. IIRC there was one in Canada and parts of New York State back in 1989.

Occams Razor and all that.

[Sir Tigger KC]

I'd have thought that if it was a solar event of some kind they'd know about it and tell us. 

Maybe it was aliens wot done it?

Especially if it's true 

[STEMO]

This will do for me:
The risks posed to electrical systems by big variations in atmospheric temperatures are well known in the industry, even if it is rare for problems to manifest on this scale.

Next conspiracy theory please

Unless you read the telegraph, then it's this:

A reliance on net zero energy left Spain and Portugal vulnerable to the mass blackouts engulfing the region, experts said last night.
In what is believed to be Europe’s largest power cut, tens of millions of people were left without electricity, while flights were grounded, trains halted and whole cities were left without power, internet access or other vital services.
The cause of the initial fault in the region’s electricity grid is still being investigated, and the EU has insisted that there were no indications that it was a cyberattack.
However, energy experts have blamed a heavy reliance on solar and wind farms in Spain for leaving the region’s power grid vulnerable to such a crisis.
