Title ‘Savage’ European heatwave due to climate change, says UN expert Degree of recognition National Media name/outlet The Irish Times Media type Print Country/Territory Ireland Date 25/06/26 Description Dr Michael Hynes, an environmental sociologist at the University of Galway, said people worldwide are experiencing “climate fatigue”, or a fall-off in interest in the climate crisis, because the issue feels so abstract, leading people to feel helpless.
“It feels completely out of our grasp,” he said. “The world isn’t going to end, but it’s going to change – it’s changing right in front of our eyes.”Producer/Author Naomi O’Leary and Stephen Conneely URL https://www.irishtimes.com/environment/climate-crisis/2026/06/26/heatwave-due-to-climate-change-with-worse-to-come-says-un-chief/ Persons Mike Hynes
