Hotter than Hell: Crops and people die in Russia

Russia's unprecedented heatwave rages on, with Friday seeing another record-breaking temperature in Moscow. The hot weather has caused the worst drought in years and hundreds of people have drowned in lakes and ponds as they desperately try to cool off. With no immediate end in sight to the high mercury readings, RT's Tom Barton explains the impact of the heatwave and how people are coping with Russia's tropical weather.

Global warming is a hoax. So it is a hot summer, it was cold here in Canada until the end of May. I went through historical records back in the 80s when the records were not fudged by the UN globalist commie elite and it showed lots of peaks and valleys in temperatures.

I'm not saying it can't get hot there, but this is just a heat wave. How about if u have such weather for 7-8 months in a row ? I live in Athens and it's water everyhere - humidity is always high, even during the very dry months. I am well aware of heat and what it can do combined with humidity and salinity.
