Alpine Heatwave Signals New Climate Danger

Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, reports that extreme temperatures nearing 100°F have hit the Alps, a region not equipped to handle such heat. Due to global warming and a severe European heatwave, high-altitude areas that typically remain cool are now experiencing dangerous conditions. Unlike Phoenix, where people are prepared for extreme temperatures, Alpine regions lack air conditioning and emergency infrastructure—making this heatwave especially hazardous.
