The heatwave wreaking chaos across Europe is a “dramatic warning” to reject climate naysayers, a European Commission vice-president says.
Teresa Ribera, executive vice-president for a clean, just and competitive transition, lambasted those who listened to the “vested interests” of the fossil fuel industry rather than scientists and their own citizens.
“This is a dramatic warning being sent once again by nature on what it means to have a different climate system,” she told the Guardian. “What we are experiencing today [in the form of record heat] is what we knew could happen, but we have not been smart enough to address the root causes. There is still this fierce fight against facts, science, preparedness, and investment [in clean energy], so we are failing people. We need to reject this kind of bullshit based on lies, and against people’s interests.”
The record heat of the past week is set to abate this week in parts of western Europe, but Germany, Czechia, Poland and Hungary reached record temperatures of more than 40C on Sunday as the heatwave spread east. Italy and the Balkans felt the impact of the scorching temperatures on Monday, with growing concerns over the spread of wildfires, while Ukraine’s energy grid was buckling under temperatures in excess of 36C. Schools and tourist attractions have closed, businesses have sent staff home, some nuclear reactors have had to be taken offline, and the World Health Organisation said the early summer heatwave was responsible for more than 1,300 excess deaths, although the true toll will not be known until later.

IT’S SUMMER
Never let a NOT RARE heat wave go to waste.
The real problem is having a “ EU green chief “ , LOL
Reject me. Go ahead. Pleeeeze! Nothing like being chastised by europistan.
STFU you stupid cow
…and this is exactly why they are removing air conditioners and and why they are letting people die. Getting rid of seniors and promoting global climate taxes is a win-win for them.
The only vested interest regarding hydrocarbons is the unelected and unaccountable bureaucratic class of demagogues, like this beeotch.
2003 was far worse than this, by a factor of 20 in deaths so far. If this were “global warming” wouldn’t 23 years later be worse?
When temps are very cold they say “that’s weather not climate”. When it’s hot they say it’s “climate change”.
Gay Paar-ree has a fever?
Why is heat always climate and cold is just weather?
“This is a dramatic warning being sent once again by nature”
This is a basic pagan superstition explanation for a naturally occurring heat wave complete with human sacrifices. AC would have saved 1000s of lives.
I was just saying this yesterday, July is the hottest month of the year and like clockwork the commies blame it on climate change, EVERY YEAR they do this! And here we go....
The record heat of the past week is set to abate this week in parts of western Europe
——————————————————————————
Seems like if it was global warming it wouldn’t abate it, would remain forever.
Talk about 1984-speak!
In 6 months, there will be stories about the "unusual cold." Anyone caught heating their homes will be pilloried.
How dare you keep warm when others are freezing!
Anyone caught adjusting their thermostats above 32° Fahrenheit will be subject to an extra special Globull tax.
Anybody else reached their limits on listening to euroweenies try to lecture the US? Time for a phased withdrawal?
What a fool. No one is denying "climate". It's been here for billions of years, always changing, the whole time. A total fool, he deserves nothing but derision and scorn.
