France saw around 1,000 additional deaths last week at the height of its record-smashing heat wave, the country’s public health agency said Sunday, as the head of the World Health Organization warned that Europe is now the fastest-warming continent and needs to do more to protect its citizens.

Temperature records were toppled in several countries on the weekend, wildfires were sparked in Germany and Berlin police used water cannons to cool down the crowds.

Meanwhile, the heat wave slowly moved toward eastern parts of the continent.

Germany marked a new record for the third day in a row with 41.7 degrees Celsius (107 degrees Fahrenheit) in Neißemünde, near the border with Poland, which baked under its new all-time high of 40.5 C (104.9 F). The Czech Republic also experienced its hottest day ever with 41.9 C (107.4 F), up from the previous record of 40.9 degrees Celsius (105.6 F) on Saturday.

Doesn’t help when you repeat it, does it? Or is it boosting your morality compass? Any inferior complexes? But perhaps I am completely out of the case and you are not that kind of a hypocrite, because you never use a car for shopping, visiting friends, or an airplane to travel, only electric buses and trainss. And may be, yes, you eat only regional - everything far away means transportation and hence emissions. And the fact that you using a smartphone, which means resource exploitation and hence large emissions is powered by green energy. Right, moron?

Hi. I don’t know about them or really even care, but I’m vegan, commute via bike and train, and make an active effort to keep my consumption minimal and eco-friendly. Everything they said was about understanding climate change is real/manmade, not how much they personally contribute to it.

Kindly take a metal chopstick, heat it over the stove, and shove it straight up your ass; it’ll be more intellectually stimulating than writing out your drivel.

(1) Why the hack you are putting your nose in this conflict? (2) Why are you defending somebody, who is calling other people „fucking morons“? (3) You make an active effort? What do you think how many people around you in different ages trying to make an effort at their best in their current situation? A poor person, living in the streets, causes less gas emission than you, so let‘s go and live on the streets. Or don’t you want to leave your comfort zone to really battle climate warming?

Take a plank and hit your blackhead. It may increase reasoning ability. And if it does not work right away, continue and hit harder. It will help you. You‘ll see.

And now: run to mummy Mod.

Why are you defending somebody, who is calling other people „fucking morons“?

Because a) the people they’re calling “fucking morons” are fucking morons and b) so are you, you fucking moron.

Well, then you must be a fucking bastard.

Edit: found a proper expression for you.

A point missing here is electing politicians who actively hinder development of renewables, which has an impact by magnitudes larger than all these individual decisions.
