This summer’s heat was Europe’s deadliest on record, scientists say
Europe has experienced its deadliest summer on record due to climate change, with scientists warning of a climate nightmare as ocean currents slow down.
A climate nightmare is unfolding in Europe as scientists confirm this summer was the deadliest on record. The continent is now confronting the consequences of environmental changes, with a slowdown of ocean currents threatening to disrupt life on an unthinkable scale.
New EU policies
The European Commission is taking steps to address climate disasters, proposing new measures to clarify who's in charge of managing fires and floods. Brussels is also pressuring Big Tech to adopt more sustainable practices through a comprehensive data center sustainability label that would force disclosure of energy and water usage.
However, critics argue that the EU's response lacks concrete solutions. Commission president Von der Leyen recently delivered a State of the Union speech that acknowledged energy and climate problems but failed to propose actionable fixes, leaving many to question whether the bloc is doing enough to address the ecological crisis.
