The stifling heat has prompted traffic restrictions in France, sparked forest fires in Spain and fanned debate in Germany over public nudity as sweltering residents stripped off.

Europe's record-breaking heatwave was forecast to intensify Thursday, with authorities on alert as temperatures threaten to surpass 40 degrees in some regions.

In a statement, Catalonia's regional government warned the fire could eventually devour 20,000 hectares in what presented an"extreme risk." In Spain, hundreds of firefighters and soldiers, backed by water-dropping aircraft, battled on Wednesday to put out a wind-fuelled forest fire that erupted in Torre del Espanol in the northeastern region of Catalonia.

Some schools are expected to close Thursday and Friday, while several cities - including Paris and Lyon - restricted traffic to limit a build-up of air pollution. "Global temperatures are increasing due to climate change," said Len Shaffrey, professor of climate science at the University of Reading.

Folau ‘fighting the battle for all of us’Australia has been divided for months by Israel Folau’s very public warning that homosexuals were bound for “hell”. But one big miscalculation has turned the issue on its head. IzzyFolau Note you LGBTI, Greens and minority groups who would drive us into their thinking look again you have been shown then the power of the silent majority. Time you took your fancy dress and went home. IzzyFolau Figured all that own did you ? IzzyFolau I agree with Andrew bolt on this. If this happened to someone else this would be bullying and harassment. But only if the far left agrees with it. This is very disturbing behaviour by the left and the commercial television.
