Europe’s Deadly Spring Heat Wave

Europe is baking under a brutal spring heat wave that’s smashing records and claiming lives—thirteen confirmed deaths so far, with more expected. Cities like Madrid and Paris are scorching, with surface temps soaring past 30°C, while the UK and France hit unprecedented highs, including London’s Kew Gardens at 35.1°C. A “heat dome” is trapping the heat, but climate change is making these extremes three to five times more likely. With only 20% of homes having air conditioning, the lack of cooling infrastructure is turning deadly, especially as people drown trying to escape the heat. This isn’t just uncomfortable—it’s a climate crisis in action. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
