Northeastern Algeria recorded more than 150 wildfires in one day with at least twelve dead, in a country supplying a significant share of Europe's pipeline gas. Europe's exposure here runs through import dependence rather than domestic heat, showing the productivity-and-energy drag this thesis tracks now arrives via supplier-country climate events as well as heat waves at home.
A German climate-policy analyst, cited by Russian state media, projected southern and western EU economies could produce 7 percent less output by 2030 because of heat waves.
