That first chapter of KSR's Ministry for the Future

Extreme Temperatures Around the World@extremetemps.bsky.social

Spoiler: France has just lived the most insane extraordinary event in WORLD CLIMATIC HISTORY (2019 events are zeroes compared to this). Over 41C in The Brittany lighthouses, all time highs shattered by 6/7C.. Nothing ever seen anywhere in the world compared to this. Updates soon

UK has very elec prices tonight in part because some older French nuclear stations and gas turbines can't function in extreme heat... Kim Stanley Robinson looking more and more like a prophet. Everyone should read 'Ministry for the Future' (once). bsky.app/profile/dang...
