Fatal Forecast - Heatwaves

Duration 52m

In the 21st century, Planet Earth has been heating up, significantly, year after year. When it comes to the hottest temperature ever recorded, 2019 broke records across the globe while 2020 shattered them. What was once a naturally occurring seasonal event is now being attributed to the increase of carbon emissions that is wearing away at the Earth’s fragile atmosphere. One of the hardest heatwave events struck Europe in 2003 with a death toll of about 70 000. The heatwave was especially hard in France, silently taking lives, putting stress on the healthcare services, and causing city infrastructure as well as agriculture in the rural areas.
