UN agency warns of heart attack, death risk from heat wave

A United Nations agency warned of an increased risk of heart attacks and deaths as the northern hemisphere reeled Tuesday from heat waves.

The World Meteorological Organization, the UN’s authority on weather and climate, said global temperatures have reached “unprecedented” levels within the last few weeks in a post on its website.

According to the agency, multiple regions around the world including “North America, parts of Asia and across North Africa and the Mediterranean,” have seen temperatures above 40°C (104°F) for a “prolonged” period of time this week.

“Heat is a rapidly growing health risk, due to burgeoning urbanization, an increase in high temperature extremes, and demographic changes in countries with aging populations,” the WMO said in the post on its website. “Hundreds of thousands of people die from preventable heat-related causes each year.”

“UN thinks you are helpless and stupid”

Well to be fair, since covid I’ve realized that many more Americans than I ever would’ve imagined unbelievably actually are.

I believe the UN is helpless and stupid. Aren’t the UN and WEF promoting burgeoning urbanization with the 15 minute cities and the such?

NOW the UN is complaining about the Heat becoming a rapidly growing health risk, due to burgeoning urbanization, WHICH THE UN AND WEF ARE PROMOTING!!!

STUPID is as STUPID does!!!!!!

I’m guessing being a disgusting fat slob is more dangerous.
Triage an all that…

Gee thanks, UN!

I’ll cancel my plans to don a fur coat and run a marathon now.

Hey, it’s not the vaxx — it’s just the heat wave.

Somehow past generations survived 100F+ temps without air conditioning, as did the earth. Besides the Biblical contradictions in dating, pardon my skepticism in reconstructions of reconstructions of the past in making it conform to present expectations:

"Our reconstruction shows that the first half of the Holocene was colder than in industrial times due to the cooling effects of remnant ice sheets from the previous glacial period—contrary to previous reconstructions of global temperatures," said lead author Samantha Bova, a postdoctoral researcher associate in the lab of co-author Yair Rosenthal, a Distinguished Professor in the Department of Marine and Coastal Sciences and Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences at Rutgers University-New Brunswick. "The late Holocene warming was indeed caused by the increase in greenhouse gases, as predicted by climate models, and that eliminates any doubts about the key role of carbon dioxide in global warming." "
How temperature evolved during the Last Interglacial and Holocene eras is controversial. Some data suggest that the average annual global temperature during modern times does not exceed the warmth in the Holocene's early warm period, called the "Holocene thermal maximum," which was followed by global cooling. - https://phys.org/news/2021-01-holocene-temperature-affirms-role-greenhouse.html
Scientists have resolved a controversial but key climate change mystery, bolstering climate models and confirming that Earth is hotter than it's been in at least 12,000 years, and perhaps even the last 128,000 years,...the team demonstrated "that late Holocene cooling as reconstructed by proxies is a seasonal signal," Bova told Space.com. To do this, the team developed a new method that allowed them to "use seasonal temperatures to come up with annual averages. Using our new method, we demonstrate that Holocene mean annual temperatures have been steadily rising," Bova added...The work also "gives confidence in their ability to predict the future." - https://www.space.com/scientists-solve-climate-mystery-holocene-temperature-conundrum

Yet two world wars and increased industrialization should have an effect, but I think a warmer planet is overall beneficial, while alarm of CC is primarily driven out of quest for power by Godless persons.

They have millions pouring into our country illegally so they can make money, build apartments, lay concrete, increase the heat everywhere.

Never think of that at all.

Masked Vaxxidents.

Temps have been this high, previously.

Heart attack/death rates? Not so much.

And, I heard d a mention the other day that cold related deaths are around 10x that of heat related deaths.

I like your way of saying it, much better than my own version.

Media Chases ‘Climate Enhanced’ Heat Waves, Misses Data Showing They are Less Frequent

A number of media outlets are claiming that U.S. heatwaves are getting worse this week due to climate change. This is false. Actual data from temperature measurements show that heatwaves in the U.S. are on the decline even as climate change has occurred over the last 75 years.

It is summer in the Northern Hemisphere, and unsurprisingly to those that pay attention to data, it is hot in many places in the U.S. – in other words, business as usual for summer. But, the media sees climate change in every heatwave event, and seeks to exploit a connection, even though one doesn’t exist. For example, last week it was declared that the world had seen its hottest day ever on July 4, with some outlets claiming the “hottest in 100,000 years.” That of course, was proven laughably false here at Climate Realism on both counts.

Cold kills many times more a year than heat.
