The heatwave last summer in Europe killed 61 000 people. The current summer is hotter than 2022. Right now, Rome is hotter than Dubai. We’re on the highway to hell.

    I was in Rome and other parts of Italy last year for that heat wave… it was rough. Many places didn’t or don’t have air conditioning, just fans. There also was a drought that didn’t help, rivers were extremely low. Not good.

      But I guess this is the “new normal”. Normalizing mass death in the heart of Europe.
