The heat wave that France is experienced this summer is like maybe 1 or 2 degrees Fahrenheit hotter than a normal summer for us.&lt;p&gt;Preparedness for summer is deeply ingrained in everyone&amp;#x27;s minds here. Many  Apartment complexes treat issues with AC units as emergency situations, reach out to on-call handymen and give high priority to their fix.&lt;p&gt;In the city of Dallas, city code requires that property owners provide refrigerated air to tenants from April 1 to Nov. 1.&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;According to state law, landlords must fix any condition that threatens a tenant&amp;#x27;s health or safety. In Texas, that condition can include a sweltering day in a stuffy apartment with no air conditioning.&amp;quot;&lt;p&gt;It is my hope that people in France look for ways to prepare and better safeguard the health and well-being of their citizens against the heat.&lt;p&gt;Some information taken from &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.dallasnews.com&amp;#x2F;news&amp;#x2F;investigations&amp;#x2F;2009&amp;#x2F;10&amp;#x2F;07&amp;#x2F;dmn-problem-solver-renters-have-options-when-the-air-conditioner-doesn-t-get-fixed&amp;#x2F;&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.dallasnews.com&amp;#x2F;news&amp;#x2F;investigations&amp;#x2F;2009&amp;#x2F;10&amp;#x2F;07&amp;#x2F;dm...&lt;/a&gt;</text><parent_chain></parent_chain></comment><story><title>Summer heat killed nearly 1,500 in France, officials say</title><url>https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-49628275</url></story>

For example, I was biking through Europe this August during the heat wave, and one of our group suffered a heart attack. He&amp;#x27;ll recover, but the paramedics told us that they&amp;#x27;d responded to two fatal motorcycle accidents that day, probably caused by the riders getting heatstroke and losing control.&lt;p&gt;When you include cases like that, and you should if you&amp;#x27;re trying to figure out how important it is to avoid global heating, the death toll goes way up.</text><parent_chain></parent_chain></comment><story><title>Summer heat killed nearly 1,500 in France, officials say</title><url>https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-49628275</url></story>
