By the end of the century, the Twin Cities area could see eight times as many deaths annually due to extreme heat as it does now, according to a study by the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC).
The projected increase -- from about 14 per year to 121 by century's end -- would be among the steepest experienced by 40 major metro areas. The authors said that is partly because extremely oppressive heat waves would be more of a shock to northern residents' systems.

This is nothing but another load of ignorant scaremongering from Leftist Control Freak fascists who are hoping they can find somebody who is actually more stupid than they are.

Stopped reading right there.
It could but it won't.
This must account for why they can’t travel to California and Texas, they just fall over dead.
Except that air conditioning soon will be outlawed. Obama already effectively has outlawed new or modified coal-fired power plants, and now he’s attacking coal mining. This policy will cause 51% of our national electricity supply to vanish.
And he’s not stopping with that small achievement.
Are people are losing it, or are they desperately putting out distracting headlines, so we won’t notice the elephant stampede heading our way?
Everybody knows to lie down with a wet towel when it is hot, and read a really good book, with a fan on their face.
Or, did everyone under 40 forget that? Maybe air-conditioning has them all dumbed down, dependent on “Jerry Kilowatt” .
We have much more pressing issues to worry about - like the collapse of the fiat dollar, our banking system, and all that follows after - urban riots, the end of “just-in-time” delivery, no more ATMs, and empty grocery shelves with non-functioning check out registers.
Killer heat is the least of the toils and snares in our path. (As usual, just my off-the-wall take, best taken with a tidge of sea-salt tossed over the dominant hand shoulder)
Since most of you receiving this prefer to gamble on the present paradigm of good times forever, I pray you are lucky.
But if you aren’t, do you have a Plan B?
If not, why not? Who will suffer the most if you do not have a Plan B?
Why are you so afraid of thinking about the failure of the overly complex system that “forms/shapes/enables” our daily lives.
If it ceased to be - would you be ready to carry on?
“By the end of the century, the Twin Cities area could see eight times as many deaths annually due to extreme heat as it does now”
Or maybe not. I stopped reading here.
“because extremely oppressive heat waves would be more of a shock to northern residents’ systems.”
Adapt or die.
Oh... wait. Maybe it's the deaths that are causing the warmer temperatures.
They must have better weather forecasters than we - ours can’t even tell us what the weather is going to be tomorrow.
It was restocked with fresh immigrants.
Mysteriously, the native fauna and flora and native Americans were unfazed by the record heat.
I, myself, have lived many places in Minnesota, prior to my move to Florida. Sometimes, while ice fishing, human remains are often snagged by hooks bearing lingering testimony to the holocaust that happened at a much lower CO2 level than today.
Think at how terrible it will be in the future.....eerrrr...let's not.
Hinckley??? Last known residence for me in Minnesota was Liberty Rd. just south of Pine City on 5 acres....nice.
Bad news...a new burial chamber was found with the calender extending past the much talked about doomsday calender.....sorry.
3. Shameless lying fools
“...that Mayan calender thingy?”
Another Freeper posted awhile back about that. The Mayans didn’t know it wasn’t exactly 365 days a years, and didn’t account for leap years. Their calendar “ended” in July, 2011. (Most researchers see the Mayan calendar as a cyclical thing anyway).
I wish I had know before I had started divesting myself of all my worldly comforts though.
“...prior to my move to Florida.”
I’m surprised you survived - what with the “sudden shock to your system” and all. I wonder if there is ANY truth to that, that folks get conditioned to certain temperatures and can die if exposed to more heat. I mean, that is what spring and fall is for isn’t it!
And I know if I travel and change climates, yes - it FEELS a lot different, but is it that much of a strain on your system? I guess the good thing about this study is we’ve got another 50 years to built more A/C units for folks.
(With summer temps over 95 degrees in Mpls. on a regular basis, everyone I knew had A/C anyway).
Chicago? They get a heat wave every weekend I guess!
What’s the problem: The Norwegians love their fish boils. ;-)
We are all DOOMED. Not the dreaded summer heat oh my.
