In the United States, heat waves are responsible for more than 400 deaths each year, greater than any other domestic, natural disaster. No number, however, can match the terrible death toll in France, where nearly 15,000 people died when an unprecedented heat wave struck the country and much of Europe in August 2003." (HARVARD INTERNATIONAL REVIEW) This article examines the causes and effects of the heat wave in Europe in 2003, concentrating on France, which was hit the hardest. | ||
