Well, it is relevant as news at least it is if we take it as part of the whole of the narrative we are always hearing.

Is it possible that its really that hot in Texas? What about other parts of the US?

Just a week or so ago we saw another story out of France. According to that story all of the Americans in our Southern most tier must be lying about the heat.

According to these stories when the heat gets up around 100 in France then everyone over a few decades old just up and dies from the heat. There was a bazillion or so this year and another bazillion or so a few years before when they ran that story and some more before that. They just dont know what to do. No one can survive in that kind of heat...

...except that Americans, many of whom dont have AC, seem to. The Spanish seem to get along without 10s of thousands just up and dropping dead. Maybe the front sneaks around the Pyrenees or the Spanish are specially adapted. Why doesnt that front ever flow into Germany and kill a bazillion or so? Borders, its probably afraid of starting something. You would think that regardless of the direction that this heat wave came from that the people of England would get hammered, there is only a couple of miles between them. All that intense heat stirring it up with all that cool wet air should cause some horrendous storms. Maybe they are all swimming home from the pub to bury their boiled geriatric relatives and just keeping a stiff upper lip but it just seems someone would say something.

I suppose its possible that the French are just tying pensioners on the roof until they bake into raisins but you would think that a tourist might catch a picture of that.

Maybe the French story we see year after year is bullshit and theres an agenda but there I go with my tinfoil hat again.
