I guess it isn’t. Every once in a while you hear of a
bunch of seniors dying off during heat waves. Isn’t
that one of the new goals anyway?

My college, in the 70’s, had an evaporating tower cooling system for the Quad. The process involved circulating water to the top of the tower (about 30 feet tall) and having it rain down over heat exchangers. The resulting cool water was then used to cool the building. It worked quite well in the Florida heat.

I only remember this because we had to do the calculations in physics class. This was also useful information in explaining the life cycle of a thunderstorm. I am a well meaning old man with a failing memory but I think it released 80 kcal per liter during the evaporating process.

Tell it to the tens of thousands who died, most of them geezers, during the European heatwave of 2003.

The estimates for the deaths during the European heatwave of 2003 range in the tens of thousands, up to almost 70,000 by some estimates.

There was also a huge spike in heat mortality in Europe in the summer of 2022, but I’ll bet most folks didn’t hear about that.

(Of course, that second stat might be a little complicated, but that’s for another thread, eh?)

People are still dying from the heat in Europe.

Europe doesn’t care.

I wasn’t aware it was that bad. Disgusting…

So euthanasia is pretty much accepted by these people.

"The original Olympics were played naked. Just trying to help out a little here..."

Gosh. Are they trying to attract "a-Hole new crowd"; like, the "Alphabet species"?
