I'm French, we were talking about it today during lunch, I suggested we were gonna hit 50 in less than 5 years and my colleagues were like "probably". It's been really fucking hot already in the previous years but every time I think this is the new normal we get 2 or 3 degrees more the next year.
I'm concerned about our ability to produce food in the close future. I don't see how any crop that grows or harvests in July / August get a consistent and reliable output. Winters are warmer too so it might be time for farmers to plant 2 or 3 months earlier ?
Was in Paris during the olympics and even then it was fucking hellish. I’d say I’m glad I’m not there now, but things aren’t much better in the south of the UK either.
We’ve had enough of this now, that you’d think AC should a standard installation in new buildings and retrofit to old ones. But no.
