but really, global warming is just a myth!

Deadly Effects of Future U.S. Heat Waves Predicted
In 2003, a summer heat wave killed between 22,000 and 35,000 people in five European countries. Temperatures soared to 104 degrees Fahrenheit in Paris, and London recorded its first triple-digit Fahrenheit temperature in history.

If a similar heat wave struck the United States, the results would be disastrous, a new study suggests.

Researchers looked at what would happen if a comparable extreme-heat event settled on five major U.S. cities, learning that not only would the country experience massive blackouts, but thousands of people could die. In New York alone, the number of deaths would increase to nearly 3,000 in a single summer.

If this administration didn't fear and despise science, maybe something would be done about this! When are we going to get someone sane in power again? Hopefully, before the end of the human race!
