Why did an 8-degree hike in heat from 113F to 121F cause hundreds of ‘heat dome’ deaths? Covid-19 face masks can be clearly seen in the photos used to illustrate the Mail Online story.
- A heatwave in Canada has caused a huge wave of excess deaths after three days of record temperatures(Mail Online)
- More than 230 deaths have been reported since Friday in British Columbia, nearly double the average rate
- Canada's record temperature, which before Sunday had never surpassed 113F, has now climbed to 121F
“Scores of deaths in Canada's Vancouver area are likely linked to a grueling heat wave, authorities said Tuesday, as the country recorded its highest ever temperature amid scorching conditions that extended to the US Pacific Northwest. “At least 134 people have died suddenly since Friday in the Vancouver area, according to figures released by the city police department and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. “The Vancouver Police Department alone said it had responded to more than 65 sudden deaths since Friday, with the vast majority "related to the heat.”Nothing in these media stories pointing out that it is the elderly, infants and household pets that are the most vulnerable to death during heat waves.

“Canada set a new all-time high temperature record for a third day in a row Tuesday, reaching 121 degrees Fahrenheit (49.5 degrees Celsius) in Lytton, British Columbia, about 155 miles (250 kilometers) east of Vancouver, the country's weather service, Environment Canada, reported. (Yahoo) "Vancouver has never experienced heat like this, and sadly dozens of people are dying because of it," police sergeant Steve Addison said. “Other local municipalities have said they too have responded to many sudden death calls, but have yet to release tolls.” “Canada's weather service said 'words cannot describe' the extreme heat and pointed out that British Columbia's record now exceeds the highest temperature ever recorded in Las Vegas.
"The heat wave has forced schools and COVID-19 vaccination centers to close in the Vancouver area, while officials set up temporary water fountains and misting stations on street corners.” (Mail Online)Are federal, state and municipal governments moving death by a pandemic in discernible decline to Death by Global Warming/Climate Change? ‘Progressive Activists Storm white House Demanding Biden Make Climate Change A Priority’ (Conservative Brief, June 29, 2021)
“It will be interesting to see how the mainstream media and Democrats who have been pulling their hair out shouting “insurrection” since January 6 respond to this. “On Tuesday a group of left wing activists from the Sunrise Movement stormed the White House demanding that Joe Biden put climate issues at the top of his priority list, as around a dozen protesters were arrested, Human Events reported. “According to reports, protesters blocked all ten entrances to the White House, demanding Biden succumb to their Green New Deal agenda and include a fully funded Civilian Climate Corps in his infrastructure bill. “Today we showed up to @JoeBiden’s doorstep with 500+ people and blockaded every entrance to the white house, demanding that he include a fully funded #CivilianClimateCorps in his infrastructure bill. Secret Service then arrested dozens of us,” the group said on Twitter. “Rep. Jamaal Bowman was one of the many lawmakers who were with the activists and they demanded that Biden “go big and bold and visionary for our country and for our future and for our planet.”
“They(politicians) occupy our streets. They mass incarcerate us, but they leave us food insecure, in transportation deserts, and our buildings and schools falling apart. F**k that,” he said. “The sign says it all,” an activist at the protest said to The Washington Times as he held a sign that read: “Biden you coward fight for us.”Meanwhile, all citizens exposed to death by Heat Wave, shouldn’t count on “temporary water fountains and misting stations on street corners” to beat the heat. Nor should they wait for official government permission to remove their Covid masks when heat waves and even hot summer weather make breathing difficult. Face masks should be ripped off when they make breathing next to impossible. Our governments are killing us.
