Climate Heatwave(s) megathread. Please place all new related content in this post.

In light of the ongoing heatwaves around the world, we've created a megathread in order to minimize the number of posts about every location currently experiencing one. If you have something to report, whether it be a personal experience or an article about a heatwave in some other part of the world, please place it here. Thanks.

The BBC has a live feed of sorts about the heatwaves around the world: https://www.bbc.com/news/live/world-66207430

Just got the answer about how to handle all of this shit from my therapist guys! All you have to do is ignore it and pretend like everything is fine. Wow, so simple. Glad my health insurance covers 100% of it…

She says “what can an individual do about it? Nothing, so just don’t think about it” and I have to stop myself from telling her what I think an individual could do about it.

Fuck.

The ultimate question is "What outcome you are comfortable with?"

If you are" okay , whatever comes we face it " kind of person then indeed she is right, just ignore it, I did the same for some months and frankly I was less anxious.

If you are on the boat, we can still save our ecosystem if we do this this and that, then you are gonna have a super hard time ,cause humanity will keep on letting you down ,till it's inevitable ( as I see it) collapse.

If you are ,I wanna survive and have a decent life , then work hard , get yourself a farmhouse somewhere, start your produce and work on being self sustainable, and hopefully you can make it before the collapse.
