Europe accused of 'backtracking' on climate policy after 'fundamental shift'

Energy analyst Saul Kavonic claims Europe has seen a "fundamental shift" in climate policy over the past two years and is now "backtracking". “What you’re seeing in Europe is a fundamental shift over the last two years … the energy transition debate is becoming much more of an energy addition debate,” Mr Kavonic told Sky News host Steve Price. “Europe, which went further than most anywhere else in the world regarding climate policy, has learned its lessons also much faster and is now backtracking.”

Europe's record-breaking heatwave: What you need to know

Europe is sweltering through its most severe heatwave on record, with temperatures shattering all-time highs across the continent and the heat now shifting east towards the Balkans and Ukraine. The heatwave is being sustained by what meteorologists call an omega block -- a weather pattern named for the Greek letter because of the shape it creates in the atmosphere. Hot, dry air from North Africa becomes trapped over a region as low-pressure systems on either side prevent it from moving away. The result is that temperatures have been pushed up to 18°C above their seasonal average. Europe is particularly exposed: only about 20 of European homes have air conditioning, and much of the continent's housing stock was built to retain heat rather than shed it.

Europe wilts under record heat, AC sales soar

Europe braced Wednesday for another day of an unprecedented heat wave that has smashed records in many countries and sent air conditioner sales zooming in a continent unused and ill-equipped to handle searing heat.
