Extreme Heat and Climate Change Linked to Mass Animal Deaths in Europe
What happened
Mass animal deaths in France were linked to extreme heat and climate change. The United Nations recently announced that the planet is expected to heat up by more than 1.5 degrees C within the next few years. This means governments around the world failed to meet the goals of the Paris Agreement.
