Extreme heat in Europe and emergency in Venezuela

149

It is very hot in Europe now. Experts in the city Graz say: This is not random. The climate change is the reason. The Earth gets warmer. The heat rises until the year 2026. This is dangerous for people.

A doctor in Munich tells about bad events. Many old people suffer from the heat. They drink too little water. Some die in their hot homes. Heat can cause heart attacks. Medicine can be dangerous in the heat.

Sports bosses change plans because of heat. The Ironman happens in Frankfurt am Main. This is a big sports race. The bike path is now short. The run path is also short. This protects the athletes. There is more water and shadow.

A different trouble is in Venezuela. Strong earthquakes hit the country. Many people have injuries. But the health system is broken. There are too few doctors. Many hospitals have no rooms for operations.
