Sizzling
Europe’s heatwave is a climate change reality check. But if the mainstream media is to be believed, everyone’s having more fun: children are splashing in fountains, families are flocking to the beach. The news outlets revel in reporting that temperature records are being broken. But where are the stories of cattle dying, of crops failing, of the elderly suffering? And most shocking and disappointing of all, where is the link to climate change? What are the implications for the economy, for society and the planet if Europe’s sizzling summer is the new norm? Hell is not fun (or sexy)!
