Europe’s Deadly Heatwave

France is facing its deadliest heatwave ever, with over 4,000 deaths in just three days as temperatures hit nearly 40°C — mostly among the elderly in homes and care facilities. The crisis spread across 150 million Europeans, shattering records, igniting wildfires in Germany, and forcing Berlin police to douse crowds with water cannons. Scientists blame climate change, saying such extreme heat is now 200 times more likely than two decades ago and occurs nearly every year. Infrastructure is collapsing — roads buckling, power strained, and rivers like the Danube and Po are warming or drying up, threatening energy, agriculture, and ecosystems as the heat moves eastward.
