and the climate crisis saying that we as europeans need to adapt to the fact that we are going to see these sweltering summers more and more. and it is not just about the intensity of the heat, it is about when it begins. so the question is how do we prepare for it now and how do we prepare for it in the future. george. people across europe experiencing these very hot tops, climate change certainly in play here. thank you very much. derek van dam is here to tell us about it. across europe, they saw these records broken. yeah, the extreme heat is astounding, but it is consistent with our climate crisis that we are faced with across the world. what i found astounding, not only did we break this record, records fell in france yesterday, their hottest temperature ever recorded, we know that, but 13 weather stations across the country actually topped this old record which was set a number of years ago, 44.1 degrees.
