At least 18 people died in France, including two children left in a hot car, as a heat wave gripped Europe and smashed temperature records in several cities Monday.

As schools in France closed ‌or modified their schedules, forecasters in Britain predicted temperatures could break June records this week.

The temperature in Bordeaux in France's western wine country rose to 41.9 C, breaking a record set last August. In Poitiers, in central France, it reached 41.2 C, surpassing a previous high set in 1947.

They aren't having kids because this weather is not normal: climate change is bringing extreme weather that is already causing big problems and will only become worse in the future.

Don't be an idiot and pretend you didn't know that's what they meant.
