European heatwaves force climate action discussion

Europeans are dying from heatwaves, with Paris particularly affected, prompting calls for action on climate change. Paris, unprepared for tropical heat, is experiencing repeated heatwaves, forcing school closures and prompting discussions about solutions, including air conditioning, despite its drawbacks. The city is taking measures like planting trees, but more is needed. The extreme heat is causing increased mortality, especially among the elderly, and even right-wing politicians are acknowledging the problem, though their solutions may be short-sighted.
