Europe had at least 30 years to prepare for this (if I’m generous), really it’s more like 50+.
Politics, leaders and society failed.
Like in Austria (where I’m from) they’re not closing schools despite it reaching up to 40°C indoors because they don’t have any law for this case.
Torturing children and teachers instead of finally acknowledging that there’s an ongoing deadly emergency.
Pretending that everything is fine instead of finally acting to protect life.
A true boiling frog experiment.
You know what everyone had plenty of time for?
Blaming immigrants and people fleeing wars and poverty for everything.
And when the time comes for water and food rationing people will elect more right-wing charlatans who promise that these problems don’t exist and/or are all the fault of “other” people.
If people don’t change and finally stick together to really work on this emergency, I don’t see a bright future for Europe.
@thomasfuchs oh but they have done something
They have created huge apparatuses to monitor and control large numbers of people.
Harsh judicial policies for "climate terrorists" and means to gather "immigrants" to camps.
They can keep going for a long time.
