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.

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.
