Putting this on “the EU” is extremely unfair. EU did way more than rest of the world. Yes, it’s because it was in a privileged position economically but comparing EU’s response to USA you can clearly see who treated it seriously and who was trying to derail it all the time.
The sad truth is that it’s the people that were actively fighting all the policy meant to mitigate it. People love to bitch about paper straws and caps that are attached to the bottles but then act surprised the government didn’t do anything more substantial.
It baffles me that they ruined cars with ridiculous climate regulations, yet we’re still getting burned alive by the heat.
It’s almost as if there’s something that pollutes way more than the consumer car that is being almost completely ignored because bil oil would suffer too much.
I wonder what those things are. If only there was independent research that were easily accessible by the relevant climate change prevention orgs…
Just wait til it rains for more than a day, everthing about the heatwave will be forgotten immediately and people will complain that it’s too cold and wet.
with the current weather situation, I HOPE there will be a massive rain- and thunderstorm over here.
the soil is so hard and dry, anything beyond a little spray of water will end in a flood like the Ahr valley. That would actually wash many of these people away…
As much as I don’t want people to suffer, but if we get a “century flood” every year for 5 years in a row MAYBE people will start to think and vote for a gouvernment focused on climate protection
A single freak-weather event is a tragedy. But if it happens again and again, people maybe start to see a pattern and listen to reason again. That way we can enable them to FINALLY do the stuff that make a change.
Sadly, most humans don’t learn from reason or logic. It takes pain and suffering of some kind for them to embrace real change. Be it monetary pain or actual loss of anything they can feel. Yeah, I wish there was an easier and less impactful way, but from what I learned - that’s idealistic dreaming.
They’ve been sitting on their hands about climate change for 40 years, I doubt that another heatwave will change much.

i don’t see how Europe compensated its responsibility or how it acted accordingly to the danger of continuous emissions.

Obviously it’s wind turbines
Have you seen how many burds die to them? 1?! 1?! 1!1!? 1!1 /s
See, it wasn’t a problem when projections said it would happen after their lifetimes
But whoopsie!

It’s a bit cloudy today to be honest. Massive hoax, everything’s fine. Let’s roll some coal!

that’s exactly what I’m talking about.

It’s okay, we all have USB-C chargers now. /s
I have a ton of devices that have USB-c plugs but don’t work with USB-c chargers at all. They only work with USB-c to USB-A cables and USB-A chargers.
Shit’s stupid.
This actually calls for more standardisation then less. Unless you believe it would be good to only have one specific charger for each device…
Of course that needs to be fixed and standardized.
Just saying the way the law was worded led to many manufacturers taking shortcuts.
