Thankfully, there IS a solution to the whole nuking-of-hurricanes issue.

If everyone votes for Joe Biden (or another Democratic nominee if that were to change), we will not have to worry about the most ignorant person in the history of the Oval Office trying in vain to nuke a hurricane.

Falsely claiming an election is rigged, when you are the highest elected official.... is noting less than treason.

Why aren’t you calling for the convicted felon to step down? January 6 and the stolen documents should have disqualified him.

Specifically why haven't you also called for Donald Trump, the philandering, lying, convicted felon to drop out of the race for the good of the country? Maybe when you do, I'll resubscribe to what you claim is a newspaper.

And now tell your readers who, out of Biden or Trump, has policies that will either tackle these climate issues or make them worse...

on the plus side, if you go for a run in 90 degree heat with a 76 (!) degree dew point, you will be miserable thinking about how your organs are about to shut down, rather than being miserable about the state of the country

All of these statements are true: Weather will always happen. Not every weather event is linked to climate change. An increasing number of weather events are worsening in behavior / severity due to climate change. How / where we build is accelerating weather loss costs. Twitter (X) = cesspool.

Look up Wet Bulb Temperature, it takes the humidity into account, which severely constricts the body’s ability to cool itself.

In 2024 Raleigh, substitute some bottles of that well-priced vinho verde (AKA Porch Wine in our family) from Trader Joe’s (bottles well iced) and there you go. Well, we do have AC in our 100+ year old house, but we do love the porch.

And if you (or a friend) are DIY types, make a duct* out of cardboard to channel that warm air outside. It seriously makes a difference in humid conditions. *extra points for using duct tape to build the duct 🙂

yeah you're never reaching my cousins and aunt and uncle with reason or logic, ever again. There's is no bridging. There's no recovery without massive cult deprogramming. These kinds of articles labor in delusion.

it's also really impressive how you can read a million of these "we must bridge this causation free partisan divide" articles without authors once mentioning that the average american's information diet is dominated by center/right corporatism, propaganda, and dogshit infotainment clickbait

Friends, the “People’s CDC” is not a reliable source of information, nor are they a good faith actor. Neither FDA nor CDC want to restrict access to the fall booster for the 2024-2025 Covid season. Their claim otherwise is fear-mongering bullshit.
