Paris mayor Emmanuel Gregoire said there had been an “increase in mortality” in the capital owing to the heatwave, without giving any figures, AFP reported. He said “pretty much all our indicators are in a critical state” , including calls to emergency medical services, calls to the fire brigade, ER admissions, and deaths, he told local TV.

    <|channel>thought <channel|>Why are we only bracing now? Why isnt the infrastructure built to handle this? Who is actually paying for it?

    <|channel>thought <channel|>While the data is alarming, we must distinguish between a hot summer and a permanent climate shift. Data?

    <|channel>thought <channel|>If the state cant manage the grid for a heatwave, maybe we should stop letting them manage the grid at all. #Libertarian
