They’ve been sitting on their hands about climate change for 40 years, I doubt that another heatwave will change much.
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
that’s exactly what I’m talking about.
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.
It’s a bit cloudy today to be honest. Massive hoax, everything’s fine. Let’s roll some coal!
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.
i don’t see how Europe compensated its responsibility or how it acted accordingly to the danger of continuous emissions.
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…
Big fail from EU. Frontex should push back heat at the border.
“Heat has no Boarders” is a catchy statement.
Seems like an efficient and truthful message.
Nobody boards the heat!
EU Commission response: cutting air conditioning to floors below the seventh because Ursula and her minions are from eighth up.
I thought we were supposed to stop caring about the environment now because data centers are the current priority
/s
I hope the eu commission withers under the rise of syndicalist unions
We absolutely need to have the freedom lever set to the max with this one, all these problems have the “dictator efficiency” crowd coming out the woodworks
Georgia is a not an EU member. Ukraine and Moldova too. Why is it presented as such in the picture?
You might recall that those are candidate countries…
Well so is Turkey and all the Balkan countries and yet they are excluded
The useless corrupt mouth breathers can’t even bother stopping the time changes every summer after more than 80% of people consulted said it needs to stop.
I dont think we have demonstrated enough that we dont want to die. And by demonstration i dont mean politely asking anymore (standing around in a group holding signs and maybe chanting something). Or maybe we just secretly truly want to die, since only smallest fraction of the population cares to attend even the rallies…
People in power should have to deal with unrest related to this all day every day, that is the only way they will do anything about it. Or maybe they will start cracking down on people without doing anything to the climate, but that would just prove that they truly want us dead.
Peacefully asking for change is a mistake if it doesnt work after couple of tries. Or at least those in power should be made to respect those who ask nicely first, but that doesnt come by asking nicely either.
And so, one cannot help but suspect that this is all intentional; as unbelievable as it may sound, the price is a good life for a select few, while the rest simply doesn’t matter. A thousand excuses: if I don’t do it, someone else will; I can’t save the world; I was just following orders, carrying out an assignment, or closing a deal. There are too many people anyway—who cares? Yet who lives long enough to actually benefit from it? No one (though that isn’t how far ahead any of them are thinking).
There’s a video of Epstein and Bannon talking about climate change as population control to some rich people, very casually. I’m sure it’s a widespread idea.
Crazy to think. All of moral philosophy was developed before the threat of humanity ending climate change. Used to be evil emperors at least wanted 1000 year empires for their offspring. Nobody ever even had the power to go “but I’ll be long gone by then.”
if I don’t do it, someone else will
What do you suggest to make a change?
Make better policy. For the people, not the corporations. And if someone can’t manage that, then at least don’t be an a**hole—instead of working for the few. It’s that simple. (Politicians!)
Let’s all move to Greenland!
So programs will be developed to fund greening of economies that produce goods/extract resources that are imported to the EU? And the real cost of producing these items will be reflected in their prices?
Well we can reduce our own emission and thats what is the only morally right thing to do. But if we actually move the bolder far enough we cannot leave out more international cooperation in general since you said heat has no borders
