Dangerous heat has broken record after record across California. As the Sacramento region experiences more than a week under triple-digit temperatures, heat islands are being hit the hardest. Different socioeconomic and racial groups often face unequal exposure to heat and increased heat-related sickness, mortality and energy costs.

Steve Wheeler, a human ecology professor at the University of California Davis, co-authored a study published in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, which analyzed the social demographics of thermal inequity.

78 degrees is a suggestion, those that choose 100+ are really courageous climate warriors!

I wonder if this gets as tiring to write as it does to read.

The reality was realized and propounded by Charles Darwin. He taught us the survival of the fittest

The fit survive.

The unfit, unequal, perish

We need to push this: White, wealthy liberals push minorities into unsafe, poor climate regions

“...which analyzed the social demographics of thermal inequity.” What a bunch of journalism crap.

Call me when you force Gates and his ilk to turn off their electricity, *ssholes.

The tipping point is coming, and I truly hope that our “elites” are satisfyingly disposed of in a public manner so that we can have burgers, beer, and cheers watching.

Now climate deniers are racists, too!
Intersectionality breeds totalitarianism!

New victim class. I heard the commies discussing this on a Seattle radio show a couple of weeks ago when the summer weather showed up.

Yet more negative ramifications of living under dimocRAT control for decades. More ammo for a smart conservative politician to use against the rats, but something tells me that it will end up being an opportunity squandered.

“Underserved neighborhoods” = Ghettos

Welfare, EBT, free hospital ER service, Obama phones, disproportionate police attention and 911 calls, court system and social services resources. Yeah, really underserved.

That is the latest buzz word: underserved.

There is no such thing. There are choices people can make. You can choose fentanyl, malt liquor, crack, weed, whatever.

Or you can choose to pay your utility bill.

As a trained Thermodynamicist, I’m here to tell you that Thermodynamics does NOT care about skin color, it works the same for everyone!

Free meals at schools, revolving door justice system, getting their butts kissed at every turn, free EBT and SNAP bucks, zero expectations of compliance with societal norms.

From the article:

“ The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration found heat illness to be the number one cause of weather-related fatalities year after year.

Risk factors for the development of heat-related illness include:

Obesity
Concurrent infection
Comorbid medical conditions include diabetes mellitus, infections, skin disorders, sickle cell trait, and cardiovascular disease.”

Hmmmmmm…………
