We've been told this would happen.
Wouldn't that be super costly switching to electric heat and your house might even have to be rewired?
Obama was in office is was clean burning natural gas and now get your heat pump..
In the late 1960s I was a construction worker at West Point in upstate New York between college terms. The project was shut down about 5 times when the temperature went above 100 degrees. In 1969! Rarely gets that hot now. And heat waves are not more frequent.
Cold related deaths are 15 - 20 times higher than heat-related deaths.
it it’s human induced climate change, then, it’s incumbent on the left to not consume fossil-fuels in any form, but will they follow their own doctrine? Nope! Not at all.
If the climate change idiots comprise at least 20% of the worlds’ population, then, their staying away from fossil-fuels will go a long way towards eliminating the damage to the climate, and the planet would be free of harm forevermore.
But, the the hypocrites will never address the biggest consumers of fossil-fuels, that being China and India and a few others. If China and India were included in the climate change rhetoric of the climate crazies, then they’d have a better argument, but they won’t ever condemn China or India, which means that the argument is not about climate change, but about control of the economies and of people.
The most dangerous people in the world today, are the climate change radicals, but, governments need them in order to get control of all industries and all people.
We've been told this would happen.
Last 2 weeks, we had very cool temperatures. The next 2 weeks we have very warm temperatures. Then it goes to moderate. Then back up.
By the way. It’s summer.

CNN’s Brianna Keilar interviewed their number one climate czar, Dr. Michael Mann from UPenn, yesterday, to discuss how this week’s “brutal” and “unprecedented” heatwave is being fueled by global warming and is a taste of our future.
“𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝗮 𝗴𝗹𝗶𝗺𝗽𝘀𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗼𝗻𝗹𝘆 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗳𝘂𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲, 𝗯𝘂𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝗳𝗮𝗰𝘁 𝗶𝘁 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝗾𝘂𝗶𝘁𝗲 𝗮 𝗯𝗶𝘁 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝘀𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀. 𝗪𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝘀𝗲𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝗱𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗵𝗼𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗿-𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝘁𝘄𝗮𝘃𝗲𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝘂𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝗳 𝘄𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗻𝘂𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝘁 𝘂𝗽 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗲𝘁.”
Mann then goes off on an activist sales pitch, demonizing affordable and reliable energy consumption, which he himself benefits from:
“𝗔𝗻𝗱, 𝘀𝗼 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗴𝗲𝘁𝘀 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝘀𝗲 𝗶𝗳 𝘄𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗻𝘂𝗲 𝗽𝘂𝗺𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗯𝗼𝗻 𝗽𝗼𝗹𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗮𝘁𝗺𝗼𝘀𝗽𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘂𝗽 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗲𝘁. 𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗮𝗱 𝗻𝗲𝘄𝘀. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗴𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗻𝗲𝘄𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝘄𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗱𝗼 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗶𝘁; 𝘄𝗲 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗽 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗺 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝘀𝗲 𝗯𝘆 𝗴𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝗳𝗳 𝗳𝗼𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗹 𝗳𝘂𝗲𝗹𝘀.”
Someone should tell these people that this is what a glimpse of SUMMER looks like. There is nothing unprecedented or all that unusual about this heatwave. Not by summer standards nor by June standards.
Let’s look at the NWS forecast through Sunday for the same cities CNN plotted on their WSI graphic at the 12-second mark in the video:

No daily records are in forecast for any of those locations. This week’s heatwave does not compare to those of June 1936, 1944, 1953 or 1988.

Heat Dome...Bomb Cyclone...Polar Vortex...Snownado...Derecho...
A whole new meteorological lexicon of hysteria.
“Alarmists” ... “The Sky-is-falling crowd?”
There has been government pressure in the UK to switch everyone over to heat pumps. And yes it is both unnecessary and highly costly, unaffordable for many with older homes.
“Despite being preventable”
All you have to do is sent 100% of your income to the government.
“Despite being preventable, the leading weather-related deaths in the US are caused by heat,”
More AC, powered by windmills and solar panels?
I have heat pump. In fact last week had to replace the entire HVAC to the tune of 10,300 bucks. To replace every one in the country would be astronomical especially if the government pays which of course they did not pay mine. Story of my life. lol.
too hot? Move north or to the coast. Solution for the last 10,000 years.
These are the same sorts of people warning of witches!!!
Same mentality, same stupidity.
Reservations at the nearest insect restaurant to save the planet.
“Sumer is icumen in”
It’s weather.
It’s what makes the averages.
It’s called summer, you liberal idiots!
Oh? A heat dome just over the US? More taxes for climate change should fix that.
Not surprising that it was a woman spouting this stupidity since the Climate Change hysteria is directed at the fairer sex.
