Scorching summer of 2003 triggered first efforts to deal with the problem but heatwaves still have devastating impact
Still hearing people say “We had warm summers in the past” over the sound of ambulance sirens in the background…
record heat wave
“we always had those”
Well yeah, last year was a record hot year. And the year before that! And the year before that! We should be used to record hot years by now!
Because we’re ruled by idiots, who are voted into positions of power by even greater idiots and/or gullible people.
Democracy, power by the people for the people, but the people are retarded
Democracy only works well if people are sufficiently educated, critically thinking and engaged.
Not speaking out against democracy here, rather pointing out severe gaps in our education systems.
One word: populists.
It might be warm now, but at least we have fewer brown people here
And communists. Don’t forget about the commies…
