Academician Orlić: "I've been showing forecasts of heat waves for ten years.

A heatwave has affected much of Europe, with temperatures exceeding 40 degrees Celsius in parts of Western Europe. The HTV program 'Otvoreno' discussed the impacts of extreme heatwaves on health and agriculture, with experts warning of longer, more frequent, and intense heat events linked to climate change. France is experiencing increased mortality and school closures, while Spain has opened climate shelters for citizens. In the United Kingdom, record-high temperatures have been recorded, and parts of Croatia are under a meteorological alert due to the heat. Experts such as Mirko Orlić, an academic at the University of Zagreb, and Petra Mikuš Jurković, deputy director of the Croatian Meteorological Department, explained that heatwaves are becoming more severe and prolonged due to global warming. They highlighted the impact of both daytime and nighttime temperatures, particularly noting that nighttime temperatures along the Adriatic Sea are not dropping below 25 degrees Celsius, affecting sleep quality and rest.

Bias read (Center): The article discusses environmental issues related to climate change and heatwaves but does not take a clear ideological stance. It presents expert opinions and scientific data without overtly favoring any particular viewpoint. The focus is on factual information regarding the effects of climate on

Why these scores (Factual 85 · Objective 70): Detailed report with direct quotes from officials. Uses dramatic language ('kontinent GORI') which affects objectivity.
