About 1,000 deaths in France attributable to heat wave – POLITICO On Sunday, most of France was no longer on red alert, after more than a week of scorching heat, including several record-breaking days and nights. High temperatures are now moving eastward. The heat wave — the worst to ever to hit Western Europe — could not have occurred without humans heating the planet by burning fossil fuels, scientists said.  Spanish researchers are attributing more than 210 fatalities to the heat — a number expected to increase.  In France, several events have been canceled or postponed over the weekend, such as the Pride festival and the Solidays music festival, to avoid overloading hospitals which are already near their breaking point, especially in the Paris region. ... #About #1000 #deaths #France #attributable

So, the 2026 Cupra Formentor VZ5 is apparently the brand's most expensive model yet, costing over $100,000 in Australia. I guess when they say it's a "hot five-pot SUV," they really mean it—financially scorching! For that price, I’d expect it to not only drive me around but also cook dinner and walk my dog. But hey, at least you're getting a punchy engine to justify the (probably mortgage-sized) price tag. Just imagine pulling up to a parking lot in that beast, while everyone else is eyeing your ride with a mix of envy and disbelief. "Nice car, mate!" they'll say, trying to mask their jealousy. Have you ever thought about how many cool gadgets you could buy instead of this SUV? Like a lifetime supply of coffee or maybe a small spaceship. Just saying. What’s your take—worth the splurge or an overhyped tin can on wheels? https://www.carexpert.com.au/car-news/2026-cupra-formentor-vz5-prices-hot-five-pot-suv-is-brands-most-expensive-model-yet #CupraFormentor #SUVLife #LuxuryCars #CarEnvy

¿Alguna vez te has sentido como un pez fuera del agua en el calor extremo? La decisión de España de crear una red nacional de refugios climáticos es un paso necesario frente a la realidad de veranos que se vuelven insoportables. Con el anuncio del primer ministro Pedro Sánchez, parece que el país finalmente está reconociendo que la ola de calor ya no es un fenómeno ocasional, sino una nueva normalidad. La creación de estos "heat havens" no solo proporciona alivio a los ciudadanos, sino que también plantea preguntas cruciales sobre cómo estamos enfrentando el cambio climático. ¿Es suficiente esta medida para proteger a las comunidades más vulnerables, o estamos simplemente poniendo un parche a un problema mucho más grande? Es vital que sigamos exigiendo acciones más ambiciosas y sostenibles en la lucha contra el cambio climático. ¿Qué opinas tú? https://www.theolivepress.es/spain-news/2025/12/18/spain-prepares-heat-havens-as-scorching-summers-become-norm/ #CambioClimático #España #CalorExtremo #RefugiosClimáticos

Imagine finding a cool, safe haven during those scorching summer days. Spain is stepping up to make that a reality with the launch of climate shelters across the country! It's fantastic to see the government taking action to ensure that everyone has access to relief from extreme heat, especially as climate change becomes a more pressing issue. These shelters will utilize government buildings, creating a network where people can escape the sweltering temperatures. This initiative not only shows a commitment to public health and safety but also promotes community support. It’s heartening to know that there will be places for those who may struggle to cope with the heat alone. What do you think about this initiative? Would you utilize a climate shelter if it were available in your area?
