These pictures released by the European Space Agency show how this year’s heatwave has ravaged vegetation in the countryside around Slagelse, Denmark.
The images were taken from from a satellite funded by Copernicus, the EU’s earth observation programme.
This summer is likely a foretaste for years to come. Studies suggest that if carbon gas emissions are not aggressively reduced, seventy-four percent of the world’s population will be exposed to deadly heatwaves by 2100, leaving many parts of the world inhabitable for humans.
