Lack of air conditioning deadlier than guns......

[2aguy]

Europe will screech about gun murder in the United States....while their lack of air conditioning leads to more deaths each year than gun murder in the United States.....

175,000 people die from the heat in Europe each year...

==========
A staggering 175,000 people die from heat-related causes every year in Europe and that figure is set to soar in line with our steadily warming planet. That’s the warning from the UN World Health Organization (WHO), which said on Friday that European countries are seeing temperatures rise at around twice the global average.

“In the European region, heat stress is the leading cause of climate-related death in the region,”

Gun murder in the U.S in 2023....

13,529

And compared to the U.S. ...... the majority of deaths due to heat in Europe are innocent people.....elderly and the infirm, while gun murder in the U.S. is concentrated among criminals and their families and friends......

When Europeans complain about the heat, they are agonizing over temperatures around 75 - 80.

I expect up to a week of temps 115-118 in Redding this summer

Nobody will be safe in America without a gun and an air conditioner.

Only the god can change the earth's climate!

When I lived in the Nevada desert that's pretty much what the temperatures were.

That's >3x the number of people killed with a gun, and 7x the number of people murdered with a gun, in he US.
And that's >60x the number of Americans who suffer heat-related deaths.

WTF are those people doing over there?

75c - 80c is quite hot.

 

[Dekster]

Well, air conditioning is bad for the environment so I guess they are doomed either way.

Blimey that's hot, saunas only get upto 70c to 90c

Imagine living in Yuma

I have been to Yuma. There is a little unmanned airport there. It was my misfortune to be stranded in Yuma. I spent the night in that building. Cold as a witches tits at night.

Europe needs to get into the 20th century, nevermind the 21st.

It probably was soft. Same thing in Palm Springs.

That's not just Yuma, that's the desert in general.

People don't talk about that when they say how hot it gets in the desert. Yea, it does, but one, it's a very dry heat and two, it's gone every night. In Louisiana, a couple of years ago I believe it was, we had over 90 days I believe over 100 degrees. That means in ungodly humidity, the heat index was above 115 every day. And at night, you were LUCKY if it got to 80. In the desert, when I spent a night there with a broken truck, it was 95 during the day and I believe got down to 26 that night. I didn't have internet where I was but someone told me that was the temp where I was that night. I know it was bone chilling cold because I was helping a mechanic who drove 250 miles to install a new fuel pump on my truck. I got into the truck sweating, by the time he arrived I got out the truck and needed a jacket and gloves as the wind was howling as well.

That's what makes New York, New Jersey so unbearable.

75f - 80f

75f - 80f is classed as a warm summer. We tend to fly off on holiday to get high twenties to low thirties centigrade.

I've been to the Dominican Republic and it was 40c/104f. Sat in the shade with beers, all of inclusive.

I find anything above 5c/41f warm, I don't feel the cold.

First time I went to the US (Florida), I thought, "It's warm tonight". Next morning looking at the radiator, turned the dial and cold air came out.

If it gets too warm on a night, I put a small fan on. If I find it really warm, I spray a mist of water in the air flow. Other than that, I just soldier on. As kids, when the tar on the roads melted, we used to pop the bubbles with straw.
