A heatwave continues to grip large parts of Europe, with authorities in many countries issuing health warnings amid searing temperatures.

Southern Spain is the worst-affected region, with temperatures in the mid-40s Celsius recorded in Seville and neighbouring areas.

A new heat record for June of 46C was set on Saturday in the town of El Granado, according to Spain’s national weather service, which also said this month is on track to be the hottest June on record.

    Aren’t airplane flights and cars and just waste in general bigger contributors? I’m all for more people going vegan but I remember a carbon footprint analysis saying some of the worst contributors were planes cars waste and then food. Having a kid was the biggest contributor but that’s a bit obvious.

      Yes, but from a societal perspective, theres value in making cuts in a lot of different places.

      Maybe you can do a meatless Monday, and somebody else will go vegan. Tell the people in private jets to stop flying private, but the family that’s going to another culture and learning and maybe becoming better has benefits.
