controversial coal mine in Germany, air conditioning regulation in Spain and the end of summer skiing in Italy

German environmental activists occupy makeshift huts in a forest. Since several weeks, they protest against the extension of a huge coal mine in the west of the country, made necessary by the renunciation of Russian gas. An ecological disaster, they denounce.

Spain decrees new energy saving measures. Air conditioners will now only be allowed from 27°C. A welcome decision. “It’s already cold here, in front of this mall, so imagine how it is inside“, laments a passerby.

The snowy slopes of the Passo Stelvio, in Italy, can no longer be descended in the middle of summer. A decision motivated by the lack of snow and poor safety conditions. In the Italian Alps, global warming is making itself felt more and more clearly.
