This June was the warmest in Europe’s history. Temperatures, in some parts of the Continent, climbed upward of 111 degrees Fahrenheit. In June alone, at least 10,000 excess heat-related deaths were recorded—many among elderly populations. Once bustling tourist attractions are emptying, as visitors are getting heat stress, vomiting, and asking tour guides to take them back to their hotels. Schools, often, in European style, without air-conditioning, are sending children home dehydrated or ill as early as May.
Eric Klinenberg travels to Western Europe in the midst of this summer’s heat wave, and talks to politicians, urban planners, climate policymakers, and other city leaders about how the Continent’s cities are adapting to a warming climate they were not built to withstand. “The problem is that this summer is only a preview of the treacherous weather that lies ahead,” he writes.
