Here’s a thought on the current heatwave that is absolutely destroying humankind across Europe atm: maybe we should push for a regulation to allow people — ALL people — to stop working in temperatures above 30C. The economy would collapse and finally politicians would take fighting the climate crisis as a priority, rather than leaning into the bullshit narrative that “summer is summer” from their air-conditioned ivory towers.

Analysis Summary
Europe is experiencing a severe heatwave with temperatures near 40C, deaths reported in France, school closures, and documented grid strain. The author's proposal to ban work above 30C is opinion, but the underlying heatwave itself is real and well-documented.
Worth knowing: some European countries (Spain, Belgium, parts of Germany) already have heat-related work stoppage rules for outdoor labor, though enforcement is patchy and most indoor and service workers aren't covered. European governments and politicians have also issued health alerts and publicly linked current heatwaves to climate change, though the broader question of economic impacts and what political action follows remains contested and evolving.
