You're going to read about the climate heat using these "normal" words but the temp above too hot, is death.

It doesn't just feel hot, it kills. Thats how hot climate "warming" gets.

"In Palm Springs — where Friday's high temperature was forecast to hit 116 degrees — many homeless people left to contend with the heat on their own.

"I don't know how anyone can do it," he said. "I feel so bad . . . there's not much I can do."

Build sun, wind. All of it, NOW

@kevinrns Normally Palm Springs doesn't open its cooling centers on Sunday-makes no sense to me-but they will do so this weekend. Unhoused can use those facilities. Obviously this is just a bandaid covering two festering wounds, homelessness and climate change. Both are tough, multifaceted problems that can no longer be ignored.

@Barbramon1

Excessive heat hurts power grids. Excessive use from excessive heat hurts power grids.

Power going out, authorities warn, means "hundreds of thousands" could need medical care. Or worse.

Next year the temperatures will be higher.

The next year after that will be higher, because oil execs and politicians have lied for decades.

The next year, temperatures will be higher.

We have been warned.

We've been reassured, they were lying.

Build all the sun, wind, now.

@emerybrooks ðŸĨšI remember that a couple of years ago an estimated billion sea creatures off the coast of our Pacific Northwest and Canada were cooked alive by hot ocean waters. So many warning signs. I am beginning to think it will take a mass die off of humans all over the world to get people's attention.

@Barbramon1 @emerybrooks Maybe we should forcibly relocate climate change cynics to parts of the world most likely to feel the effects. ðŸĪ”

I don't think we will have to do that. It will come to them. It's happening now at a rapid rate in most parts of the US. Soon all but a small lunatic fringe will acknowledge the danger. Hope it won't be too late for the rest of us.
