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 As Europeans we need to work together, but also stop carrying all the blames and weight. For each time a European country close a coal power plant there's also USA bombing hundreds of oil fields in the Middle East and stop the construction of solar and wind projects. Is like a kid trying to empty a river with a bucket! Frustrating.
