The heatwave in Europe is so extreme, it's 25–32°F (14–18°C) above normal. You read that right. France recorded it's hottest day ever. The UK had its hottest ever June day. The ground is exceeding 122°F (50°C). People are dying. Tell me again why we shouldn't talk about climate change???

Conclusion : What looks like a simple urban-rural divide is really the cumulative effect of territorial inequalities that climate policy lands on unevenly. And these inequalities become politically explosive when they intersect with narratives of who rural people are, and what their life is worth.
