"More than 44 million people in France, out of a total population of 67 million [two-thirds of the entire population], have been under the highest red alert for heat this week, with daytime temperatures exceeding 40C [104°F] in many places and staying dangerously hot at night"

Europe is the Fastest-Warming Continent for several reasons: - melting Arctic sea ice; - air pollution reduction (fewer sunlight reflecting aerosol particles); - less sunlight reflecting snow cover; -new, resulting weather patterns that increase the frequency of heatwaves. https://www.nytimes.com/2026/06/24/climate/europe-fastest-warming-continent.html?unlocked_article_code=1.slA.goOZ.ydkH5vyIS2zz #ClimateChange #ClimateCrisis #GlobalWarming #Europe #heatwaves
