The mercury has shattered records across Western Europe today, with the UK activating its emergency heatwave contingency as temperatures soared past 40°C in parts of England. Sources confirm that this is not a freak weather event but a direct consequence of decades of corporate negligence. The heatwave, which has already claimed lives in France and Spain, is a stark reminder of the unaccountable power of fossil fuel giants who have lobbied against climate action for years.
Uncovered documents reveal that major oil companies knew about the risks of global warming as early as the 1970s, yet chose profits over people. Now, as the NHS braces for a surge in heat-related illnesses and transport networks grind to a halt, the question remains: who will be held responsible? The government's contingency plan, a 50-page document obtained by this journalist, outlines measures such as cooling centres and public health warnings.
But it does nothing to address the systemic corruption that allowed this crisis to unfold. As the heatwave intensifies, the bodies are starting to pile up. The trail leads back to boardrooms, not weather patterns.
