Selective reporting of heatwave mortality with omission of broader impacts (Селективное освещение смертности от жаровых волн при игнорировании более широких последствий)

Russian media reports on the European heatwave emphasize total excess deaths and highlight Belgium and France as worst-affected, but systematically omit critical details such as drowning risks, child fatalities in cars, infrastructure disruptions, night-time temperature records, scientific consensus on climate change causation, and regional variations in impact. This creates a narrow narrative centered only on mortality statistics while downplaying the full scope of human and systemic consequences.
