Ende Juni starben in Deutschland in nur einer Woche 4.300 Menschen an Hitze – eine Katastrophe wie ein schweres Erdbeben. Ein Krisenstab auf höchster Ebene ist überfällig. Doch von der Bundesregierung hört man nichts. Mein Kommentar @tazgetroete https://taz.de/Tausend-Hitzetote-in-einer-Woche/!6194646/
