Europe's deadly heatwave is a direct consequence of fossil fuel addiction, and the science is unambiguous. Temperatures hit 113°F in Spain while over 200,000 Europeans have died from heat-related causes since 2022 — the continent warms twice as fast as the global average. Refusing to act on climate change isn't just negligence, it's a policy choice that keeps killing people.
Blaming a single week of hot weather entirely on climate change is bad science dressed up as urgency. Europe has seen brutal heatwaves before — 1976 being a prime example — and people managed without mass panic or government hysteria. Painting weather maps red and shutting down schools every time temperatures rise is alarmism, not policy.
