70.000 dead in 2003 EU heatwave?!? new one coming...
 

I did not know the death toll was so great...15.000 dead just in france...a new heat wave is coming this year and I am just stunned how so many people died...


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2003_European_heat_wave

Peer-reviewed analysis places the European death toll at more than 70,000

iraq is having massive heat waves and power cuts (the USA rebuilt LOL) they are at 49 celsius

chennai india is out of water! they are having 50 celsius or 120 retard units heat...there are reports that between 100 million people will run out of ground water by next year and figures go up to 600million...this includes new delhi...

40+ celsius is pretty shitty for EU.. but the current one should last only a few days, no? However in the long term we need to get used to it :(

The headline reminds me of the peanut allergy bit from "Of course, but maybe" by Louis CK

Boy, we lucked out that you survived, right?

Just get an iceberg from the South pole.

The reputation of the French for drinking in moderation appears slightly misleading after a worrying report released on Monday revealed alcohol is responsible for around 49,000 deaths in France each year - around 134 each day.
