France: A nuclear power reactor had to shut down because the river that cools it is too hot (28C!), the Louvre shuts early because its climate control can't handle the afternoon heat from its patrons, and people are drowning in rivers trying desperately to cool off.
I wish I was reading these things in a Michael Crichton novel, not the Guardian: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/jun/23/heatwave-france-spain-italy-europe
The awefulness of the Climate at the moment is only the start
Governments where warned of the potential issues and deaths.... building closures due to the heat and power cuts
This is a warning, which Governments will ignore as they are unable to implement the unpopular policies needed to attempt to cope with changes for fear of turning the voters angry....
Action needs to be taken now, before it gets worse.... it probably won't arrest the change but might help some adjust to the new normal.
