Italy's cheese banks melting in the heat
Hundreds of thousands of Parmigiano-Reggiano wheels stored as collateral in Italian "cheese banks" are getting cooked by extreme heat. This is actually how it works there: wheels age in climate-controlled vaults and serve as security for loans to cheesemakers. When the storage temperature spikes, the wheels crack, the collateral evaporates, and the entire financing system for one of Italy's biggest agricultural exports gets torched.
Climate chaos eating into actual infrastructure now, not just crop yields.
