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.

@thomasfuchs The count technically starts from 1950 but certainly by 1970 it was well known, so you're in the right frame, but it's wider. It's not an experiment, they are clueless because they can't see past their own ledger. This is just the start and yes, it's XRISK because there's systemic response behind this heat - the foolishness was believing this was other than a RESPONSIVE system of systems.
