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.

Someone made a list of reasons why the UK was unprepared for a recent heatwave that hit. Their main point revolved around most houses don't have AC because no one needed them before so there was nothing to be done about it now.

I guess they better start getting everyone prepared for the next one then? Right?

Or they're just going to suffer through until winter and do it all again next year:
