More Defense Spending, More Climate Redistribution: The EU Spins A $2.2 Trillion Wealth Transfer Machine
Submitted By Thomas Kolbe

According to World Health Organization Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, Europe has recorded more than 1,300 excess heat-related deaths since June 21.
Despite experiencing fewer hot days than many other regions, it also records the highest number of heat-related deaths per capita.
