To think to see the destruction of a Canadian village as a warning of what climate change could do

High temperatures and heat-related deaths were bad enough, but when the town all burns down it is a pretty worrying picture. I know they haven't yet proved it's due to global warming, but it's looking pretty likely. I'm surprised the story isn't being given more coverage (in the UK) Maybe it's a wake-up call that the effects of global warming aren't that far off.

Summers are like that in the Middle East but we’ve got plenty of air conditioning!!

What about food growth? How does that happen there? I’ve never been.

What about people whose work is outside?

Interested to see how people do/can adapt as looks like people are hell bent on continuing with their selfish desires rather than protect the future for their children

Of course it’s not just heat. And those places that already get that hot will get hotter. Mass migration. Food shortages. Social unrest. Global instability. Argh! Why can’t we just change? We have just proven to ourselves that we are capable of massive significant changes. We can do it. Why won’t we?

Food is grown during the winter season. It only gets that hot in summers. Lots of farming in the Middle East, contrary to what people in northern climates think!

You can also grow in summer if you are a professional farmer.

Labourers typically work outside at night in summer, when it is slightly cooler. There are other mitigation strategies but I don’t know exactly what.
