Deaths, drought and wildfires: Europe struggles to cope with its severe heatwave | DW News

Thousands have been evacuated from their homes by authorities in France and Spain. More than 1,200 firefighters are deployed in Gironde, a prefecture in Bordeaux, France. Thousands of hectares have burned in Portugal. Britain is bracing for its highest temperatures on record as a heat wave soars across Europe. Authorities are warning Britons to look out for others and to stay indoors.

[@judewarner1536]

The problem is that CO2 is actually one of the least effective greenhouse gases. A tonne of methane has the same effect as about 30 tonnes of CO2. This is what's exercising Greens about uncontrolled animal husbandry, and the release of part-burned LPG into the atmosphere. But even worse are the GIGATONNES of methane locked in tundra, under ice and under water, which are released by temperature rise / melting. You ain't seen nothing yet, baby!

Nothing to do with "global warming" that is a lie. They are doing something to our atmosphere on purpose and HAARP & the hadron collider have something to do with this. There is an agenda they have in place. Wake up.

[@judewarner1536]

Speaking of buckling rails, they used to be restricted to shorter lengths connected by expansion joints called fishplates to allow for metal expansion during hot weather TO PREVENT BUCKLING! Now, to save money, rails are welded into longer, even continuous lengths in which there is NO PROVISION FOR EXPANSION. What is the COST of reducing train speeds and lengthening transit times and was that factored in when calculating the savings from welded, as opposed to jointed railway lines? Almost certainly NOT because each separate entity only considers its OWN COSTS and not the holistic effects of their financial decisions.

[@Bubbles12345-cat]

They weld them together to stop the clack clack noises from the train wheels over the joints and then they buckle. Here in South Africa trains make a terrible racket because of the joint gaps being large. But it can get hot here, and railway lines never buckle.

[@judewarner1536]

@@Bubbles12345-cat I am fairly certain that the rails were welded into longer lengths so the tracks could be laid more quickly and that this has happened relatively recently in British Rail history. There may also have been a factor of using automatic track setting machines that could not cope with fishplates, but I'm less certain of this aspect. I'm sure people warned them that hot weather would be a problem and that rail buckling has already occurred since the practice was adopted. What I am also certain of is that the loss of the clicketty-clack as the carriage bogies crossed the gaps was a by-product of the change and NOT the purpose of the change. The noise was not that loud on British Railways; most people found it comforting and missed it when it disappeared. Your description of the noise on SA railways does seem as if it's due to larger gaps between rail lengths to allow for the much higher temperatures, possibly also simply to poor maintenance, where there is more play in everything than should be the case. What would you say about the possible maintenance aspect? I'm not sure if it's still the case but rails used to be made of a high Manganese steel with a lower coefficient of thermal expansion and greater resistance to wear than ordinary steel. The alloy was known as ''Hatfield's Manganese''. I'm not a rail enthusiast, but I AM a qualified Metallurgist.

Would be nice to have palm trees in England

There are thousands of palm tree in England (especially the South-West).

As Germany burns more coal and shuts down its nuclear power plants. ???!!!

[@DavidGatto]

Seems we might be having some environmental fallout from the Tonga volcano- colder, wetter weather in the Pacific, with the hot dry weather being pushed into Atlantic. May be an unusual winter, I would get to modeling to predict demand.

[@judithwake2757]

Oh,GREAT ! Here in the Pacific North West It's been an unusually cold and wet winter and spring with a mid spring like weather in summer ! It's just now beginning to act like summer !

[@matthewdelgado5566]

It's 43°C right now where I am. It's really no big deal. I still go outside. I'm from California

[@RoninTF2011]

Its is when it happens so far north...

[@oliviachipperfield6029]

Plus humidity makes the heat so unbearable. The heat you are experiencing in California is probably a dry heat, like the heat we experience up in the BC interior.

[@davehewitt6177]

You should look at the world weather history first and then see that it goes up and goes back down. It is a fact that the earth's axis has shifted since 2003 . Have to look at everything not just blame carbon or methane emissions 🤔

[@robertherman1146]

Interesting! From which university did you get your PhD. in meteorology?

[@samiam8641]

@@robertherman1146 university of Look It Up Yourself. The human influence has always been sketchy. Evidence suggest normal cycles. It’ll get cool again like it always has.

[@nunofoo8620]

I studied the changes in the earth's orbit in school and all i have to say is if someone says current warming is due to orbital changes they should urgently do 2 things: 1º Enroll in basic science classes to understand why you are wrong. 2º Stop getting their news from right wing conspiracy websites

[@kostancijadegutyte184]

​@@robertherman1146 Those who have PhDs in meteorology are only taught to look at weather records of less than 200 years. Do they know weather patterns on Earth that stretch over 300, 500, or more years? If they know, why don't they compare current weather conditions with the conditions 300 years ago, or so. I keep repeating "300 hundred years" because it has been noticed that most of the forests on Earth are just 300 hundred years old, with some gigantic trees as an exception. If we look at the present day hight of the majority of trees in the forests (other than rainforests), we probably would be able to calculate how tall the trees would get in another hundred years. In 200 hubdred years. And so on. Would that forest look normal? Do we know if trees have determinate or indeterminate life span? If trees have limited growth, then forests need a lot of maintanance, which might be impossible to achieve!

It may not be the axis, but crustal displacement. Long cracks are appearing across continents.

The guy with the hose.😀😀😀😀

[@Xavier-Denis]

We talk about climate change, but I wonder if all the volcanoes that have erupted in the last year so far are impacting all of this heat that the earth is experiencing right now. At one time there were 25 volcanoes erupting in the same month.

[@lange71krakapoi9]

good question.

[@Normalguy1690]

45 volcanoes this year so far

[@Xavier-Denis]

Nobody talks about it but I think there has been a certain warming at this level

[@janemonroe289]

Blah blah blah! The world is not getting hotter, we had the worst ice storm in Texas winter before last!

[@HGB987]

The more sins that your governments commit and make the world suffer with foolish decisions the more punishment that god is going to impose on your population. So elect politicians who brings peace and focus on people’s concerns rather than destroying other countries and human beings around the world with misery.

Get into a bath if you can't get anywhere else out of the heat. Just get wet.
