Since it's summer, after weeks of high temperatures, we're getting headlines about seven deaths, possibly heat-related; see below, excerpted from a report shared by Yahoo News [emphasis, links added]:
Temperatures soar in the United States, with record-breaking high temperatures suspected to have killed at least 7 people
A sweltering heat wave sweeping parts of the United States has broken heat records, prompted air quality health advisories and is suspected of causing at least seven deaths.
At least seven deaths in the western United States were suspected to be caused by the heat, officials said. Five people have died in Oregon since Friday and are investigating whether the deaths may have been related to the heat, the Multnomah County Medical Examiner's Office said.
One motorcyclist died from suspected heat exposure and another was hospitalized with severe heat stroke in California's Death Valley on Saturday. Another man from Sacramento, Kevin Gerhardt, died Sunday from the heat, according to Sacramento NBC affiliate KCRA.
Of the seven, five of the deaths occurred in Oregon — though not in the desert-like landscape of eastern Oregon, but in Multnomah County, with its lakes and rivers and relative proximity to the Pacific Ocean (which I find odd, Wondering if there's more to the story).
One of them was a motorcyclist who died in Death Valley… stupidity is to blame. Death Valley has been extremely hot for much longer than we have been able to use our natural resources to greatly improve our quality and longevity.
Put death in perspective:
Over 3 million people die every year in the United States, which equates to about 8,000 deaths every day, and during a few weeks of high temperatures this summer, we got big news about 7 deaths that were “possibly heat related,” Because it adds fuel to the ongoing push to destroy the industries that have so greatly improved our quality and longevity. (Of course, we'll never know if people had underlying conditions.)
The best estimate of how many people die from heat-related causes each year is around 1,000, or about three per day – again, just one of more than 8,000 deaths per day.
How many people died last week in Chicago and other cities because Democratic-backed pro-crime district attorneys let career criminals roam the streets?
How many people have been killed or injured as a result of Democrats' border policies? Think of the harm and death caused by drugs, human trafficking and drug trafficking.
Somehow, Democrats are concerned about a few degrees of temperature rise in the hundreds of years since the end of the Little Ice Age.
Additionally, 492 people died from storms in the United States last year (the equivalent of less than two people a day).
Now, what happens if we continue to destroy everyone's quality of life by eliminating affordable energy and forcing them to buy flammable electric cars and appliances?
If the United States spends hundreds of billions of dollars to achieve “net-zero” emissions by 2050, how much global warming will be avoided by 2100?

I expect this number to go up!
What happens when the power goes out and no one is allowed to use the generator? What would happen if a hurricane came and everyone was in trouble because their electric cars shorted out and exploded?
In the United States and Canada, It is estimated that for every heat death, more than 40 people die from coldbut we rarely, if ever, see headlines that try to scare the public with cold death…Because it doesn't fit the Democratic agenda.
From the New York Post:
More people die from cold: Media obsession with heat-death climate leads to bad solutions
Heat deaths are well worth clicking, with studies showing that approximately 2,500 people die from heat in the United States and Canada each year. However, rising temperatures can also reduce cold snaps and cold deaths. Cold restricts blood flow to keep the core warm, leading to increased blood pressure and death from stroke, heart disease and respiratory disease.
These deaths are rarely reported because they do not fit into the current climate narrative. Of course, if they were just curious, apathy might be justified, but that's not the case. Each year, more than 100,000 people die from cold in the United States and 13,000 in Canada—more than 40 for every heat death.
Why would anyone work so hard to cool the world when a warmer world becomes healthier?
Does anyone really think Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, or anyone else pushing the green agenda can present evidence that our oil consumption controls temperatures and storm activity?
How many more If wind and solar fail to meet our electricity needs, will people die needlessly from heat or cold? Is this what happened to Kevin Gerhardt, the second California man to die?
Here are the details of the project:
The mother of Kevin Gerhardt, who died from the heat on Sunday, said his home had no air conditioning.
The 58-year-old man from Sacramento was taken from his home to a hospital, where he later died, the Sacramento County Coroner's Office said. The high temperature in downtown Sacramento on Sunday was 106 degrees.
“It seemed like a senseless death,” said his mother, Marilyn Sellers. “He needed to go somewhere else to escape the heat. But he didn't.
Or will he be unable to afford an apartment because the Democratic-induced cost of living crisis has made life unaffordable for most Californians?
How many poor and middle-class people have been disproportionately harmed by skyrocketing prices caused by radical Democratic policies?
