## Resource

Europe is baking under a deadly heatwave, with Spain canceling outdoor events, Germany issuing nationwide warnings, and Italy hitting temperatures hotter than Bangkok. France, a third of which is under red alert for its music festival, has banned alcohol in public and set up misting stations at landmarks like the Eiffel Tower — as 90% of the population faces extreme heat. Officials warn of serious health risks, especially for the elderly, while also ramping up wildfire preparedness and monitoring nuclear reactors. Scientists link the intensity and frequency of these heatwaves to climate change — a crisis that has already claimed hundreds of thousands of lives over the past four years, many preventable. The heat isn’t easing, and the stakes are rising. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
