00:06as a partisan issue
00:09as territory

00:16just why
00:17Europe's summer has been hot as hell
00:20this is
00:22the price of global fossil fuel
00:24addiction hitting home
00:26and it shows both
00:28both that the climate crisis is now a continent-wide economic security emergency and that doubling

01:03percentage point from European GDP the same amount the EU economy is forecast to grow.
01:12If humanity doesn't cut the fossil fuel pollution bake in our planet this summer's brutal heat fires
01:19and droughts will seem mild compared to the permanent climate nightmare that will follow.
