What's your understanding of how both these countries get fires this big and destructive at the same time?

I'm taking a shower right before bed.

I'm sleeping with wet towels over me just to try to survive, honestly, and just try to sleep.

Wow.

Okay, so you're saying tens of thousands of people are dying in these heat waves.

In the U.S., we often see a couple thousand people die annually, and that's awful.

But what you're describing is striking here.

Why is this toll so big?

God, so people are literally baking right now.

And it's because of a lack of air conditioning and the architecture of buildings.

I'm going to ask, and I understand this, the most American question, but I do think it's a question that's on the minds of many listeners.

Why not use more air conditioning?

I get there are environmental concerns, but explain this to me.

This situation seems dire.

Okay, so I just want to zoom out.

Why is it so much hotter?

Obviously, climate change, I assume, is a big part of this answer.

But just explain what is making this heat wave so acute in these particular areas.

Okay, so let's talk about these fires.

We've got this intense heat.
