Europe is sweltering from its hottest recorded heat wave with 40 people drowning in France, trying to escape the heat, 2300 heat related deaths, hundreds of schools forced to close and transport interruptions. And this is only July, before the impending El Nino and France's formerly hottest month of August.
We don't normally share audio interviews but this one stood out with the interviewee from Copernicus squarely attributing this exceptional heat to the burning of fossil fuels as the foremost cause. All too often the media is shy of mentioning our fossil fuel driven climate crisis when reporting on extreme weather. Good on you Copernicus ECMWF
If you would like to do something about the climate crisis other than feel horrified (we hear you!) you are very welcome to join us in our Enough is Enough campaign. There are plenty of ways to get involved including ways that you come up with.

Forecasters are predicting it could turn into one of the longest heatwaves in recent years.
