40 people drown in France while trying to escape the heat of Global Warming

[ding]

Al Gore is looking good right now..

In France, officials say dozens of people have drowned during a record-breaking heatwave, as people desperately tried to cool off in rivers, lakes, and other bodies of water.

For years, climate deniers mocked warnings about deadly heat as alarmism. Now people are dying not only from the heat itself, but while trying to escape it.
This is one of the cruel realities of global warming. It does not only kill through heatstroke. It pushes people into desperate choices, strains public safety systems, disrupts schools and transportation, and turns ordinary summer relief into a life-or-death risk.

So when deniers ask where the climate crisis is, this is part of the answer: people drowning in search of a few minutes of relief from heat that should not be this extreme.

Do you suppose the climate is any different than the previous interglacial period which was 2C warmer with 120 ppm less atmospheric CO2?

Naw. Global Warming doesn't exist. The problem in Europe is the lack of air-conditioning.

Europe really doesn't need it, most of the time. Europe has a fairly moderate climate compared to the United States.

Every once in awhile it gets pretty hot....and some Europeans can't cope with the heat.

They haven't figured out what the Saudis figured out centuries ago.

Don't work during the heat of the day.

I'm impressed! The arguments for Global Warming/Climate Change just keep getting better, don't they! My advice to the left is just pretend like all this Global Warming BS never happened and find a way to blame this fiasco on Trump or the GOP if the topic ever comes up again.

Its unfortunate. I think parts of the UK are going to have triple digit temps this week as well. Maybe the new PM will buy them all air conditioners. I have personally never figured out why people flock to the beach when it is scorching hot. Sprawling on hot sand in the wide open sunlight just does not seem to be the right choice. As for france and global warming, I bet they have record solar energy output to brag about soon as well.

Fucktards need air conditioning.

Did they drown trying to surrender to the water?

They had their hands up, instead of using them to keep their heads above water.

Well, there is nothing authentic about the dumocraps, is there? Remember when they tried to pass off Kamala Harris as a moderate and the most qualified candidate ever? There's not enough lipstick in the world to make that pig attractive. Dumocraps are all as fake as press on nails.

They don't have one ounce of reality to them. It's like they're playing parts in a play ... a macabre play about the destruction of the greatest country on Earth.

IT is quite unusual the weather in Europe... Rennes which is in north west France is 42c (107f), this is not a part of the world that is prepared for this kind of heat.. (this is a place at the latitude as Halifax, Canada).
BTW, Halifax had not a single temp break 30 Celius for 125 years... It has broken it 4 times since Sept 2024..

And they think they are clever and we would never notice, that's what cracks me up. Another thought, aren't all conservatives from Georgia racists? So, the OP is a racist. And a fascist. And a homophobic transphobe. And a misogynist. And everything else the left always call conservatives.

I know one thing: he's a phony and a hypocrite.

I think someone should read this thread and really shows how fucked up some people are in US...

Look at some of the comments... Two kids died in a car in this heatwave, it is totally out of character for the region and people simply don't know how to deal with it...

I am sorry but some of the comments on this thread are by people are just scum... These are real people, but they don't care... They don't give a royal f*ck about other people and just mock and ridicules other tragic deaths...

I suppose they are proud of themselves...

 

[Senior]

Ask me how I knew someone was eventually going to drop the T-word in a thread that had nothing to do with him?

Please. MAGA hijack virtually every thread that is critical of Trump.

But but BIDEN!

While I feel sorry for the dead and any possible family I can help but wonder at the lack of intelligence it would take to go into deep water if you do not know how to swim.

Good!

More energy and water for the data centers that produce far more carbon emissions than humans ever will.

Thanks for that.

I guess this child in Iceland died from "Global Warming" too .. right?

Death At Reynisfjara: Devastation On The Beach

Another horrific reckoning with modern tourism Yukio Mishima crystallised the empty pathos of life in a once-proud nation dealing with rapid hyper-modernisation with his story collection Death at Midsummer.

Al Gore .. looking good .. The polar bears should be extinct, San Francisco and Florida flooded with water .. and you're focused on 40 people who couldn't swim. Give me a break.
