Infrared thermal camera shows heatwave in Italy

As Italy grappled with the heatwave "Minos", Greenpeace activists filmed Italy's iconic landmarks with infrared thermal cameras to document the alarming rise in temperatures, highlighting the urgent impact of the climate crisis. The infrared thermal camera footage from Colosseum and Vatican and Termini train station revealed the surface temperatures exceeded 50 degree Celsius, Greenpeace Italy said in a written statement. According to data from Climate Central's Climate Shift Index, temperatures in Rome and other Italian cities have reached unprecedented levels, surpassing what would be expected without the influence of anthropogenic global warming, the statement said. Forecasters say the sweltering conditions should ease at the end of the week, when temperatures are expected to drop with the arrival of thunderstorms. - Report from Reuters Subscribe to the ABS-CBN News channel! - http://bit.ly/TheABSCBNNews Watch full episodes on iWantTFC for FREE here: http://iwanttfc.com Visit our website at http://news.abs-cbn.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/abscbnNEWS Twitter: https://twitter.com/abscbnnews Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/abscbnnews
