Unprecedented heat wave in Europe

This was the hottest day ever recorded in Belgrade. Fifty forest fires right, left and center. Hundreds of dead reported in Hungary. State of Emergency in Greece. What next? Oh, the specter of famine.“Yes, but what effective action can we take TODAY for this long-neglected problem?” That’s simple: we can bury the dead.
The BBC reports 30% of Serbia’s annual harvest has been destroyed as that hundreds of forest fires are burning in Greece. In Macedonia, a forest fire ignited mines and weapons that have been buried since WWI.
Then there’s the invasion of stinging jellyfish in the Mediterranean, attracted by the now-warmer water.
