WaPo reports that the US death toll from global warming continues to rise. I guess when it gets to around 3,000 we'll realize that greenhouse gasses are terrorists and, as a result, we'll attack Venus.
The death toll from California's 12-day heat wave topped 130 on Friday as coroners documented more cases of mostly elderly victims found dead during the record-breaking temperatures.
In Stanislaus County in the Central Valley, where temperatures hovered at 115 for the past two weeks, the heat wave killed 29 and is believed to be the single deadliest event in the county since the 1918 global outbreak of the Spanish flu. At the antiquated county coroner's office there, four scented candles burned near the front door to cover the smell, according to the Modesto Bee.
Single deadliest even sinc ethe 1918 global ourbreak of the Spanish flu.
People are now like dairy cattle. The dead carcasses are piling up faster than we can cart them away.
Help us, Scented Candles! You're our only hope!
Wait. No they're not. We could start THIS WEEKEND with mandatory conservation measures, such as limitations on coal plants, use of advertising lights, minimum air conditioning temperature settings, and closure of government offices that would reduce carbon emissions RIGHT NOW!
Or, we could pretend that nothing's wrong.
