## Resource

Europe just endured its worst heat wave on record, with temperatures hitting 104°F and over 1,000 excess deaths in France alone. Scientists link the extreme heat to climate change, warning it’s now a yearly threat, not a rare disaster. The heat crippled power grids, strained healthcare, and caused deadly drownings as people sought relief. Rivers like Italy’s Po have shrunk so much seawater is pushing inland, disrupting agriculture and nuclear cooling systems. While cooler weather is arriving in Western Europe, the damage lingers — France still faces blackouts from accompanying storms. WHO warns infrastructure and public spaces aren’t built for such heat, with health impacts expected to last weeks. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
