I could have sworn that extreme cold was statistically more dangerous than extreme heat.
It hit 103°F in NYC on 3 July 1966.
It hit 106°F in NYC on 9 July 1936.
Today’s peak temp in Manhattan: 94°F.
“...extreme heat has never received a federal major disaster declaration under the Stafford Act, meaning FEMA cannot deploy its full toolkit — including individual assistance for cooling costs, medical expenses, or housing — even as heat kills more people annually than floods, tornadoes, and hurricanes combined.”
Global Warmsters Saddened Not to be Allowed to Waste More Tax Dollars!
“...heat kills more people annually than floods, tornadoes, and hurricanes combined.”
Really? Can that possibly be true?
Several American states experience 100 degree temps for long periods of time... So why isn’t America seeing ‘thousands’ of deaths like they do in France and the UK?
And, yet, the left wants to get rid of air conditioners...
What are they talking about?
Just emotional argument. No temp numbers. Nothing No region. No ages. They don’t define terms. I’ve done more research in an undergrad report
In Texas it’s been cloudy every day. High temp is 85 today. Mid July
The AC has been off for days. Never saw anything like it
200 million people gonna die? That’ll open up the freeway.
“Heat Deaths Near Record as 200 Million Americans Face No Federal Disaster Safety Net (Climate Change Hysteria)” The climate sure did change here in KS, cloudy and rainy to sunny and warm.
Huh. Has the media even inflated death counts to reinforce a progressive (regressive) narrative? Well, maybe covid related deaths but whose counting. The solution, of course, is to turn off your AC! That’ll reduce AGW and save the glaciers.
I sure am glad we didn’t have hot summers when I was a kid.
Summer is a federal disaster?
Yah, but in ‘merica we’ve got air conditioning.🤔
Ok, Ok. Just tell me how much money I need to pay to make it all better, komrade.
what exactly would a hot summer Federal “disaster safety net” do, anyway? ... free air conditioners for all illegal aliens?
If you think the summer is bad without AC, just wait till you see a winter without heat.
Annually, the vast majority of temperature-related deaths in the U.S. stem from cold exposure rather than heat, with over 45,000 such deaths recorded between 1999 and 2024
What’s so confusing, is how have humans survived all of the 103+F days before now? Hell, AC has only been around since the 1940s and became common in the 1960s. How did we survive? I’m so confused.
What are you complaining about? Wisconsin is a summer destination for many. Nobody knows heat like Florida fisherman, roofers, crop pickers, landscapers, and high school summer practicing football players in helmets and pads. Smart Floridians get their kids into ice hockey.
More “recency bias” — whereby recent data seems outrageous though no or little prior data exists.
Quick example: our family maid died in a heat wave of the early 1970s from carbon monoxide poisoning while cooling off in a car w/ the A/C. There were probably many such deaths during that time that have no corresponding category today.
