Deadly heat waves worsen existing inequities, hitting #BIPOC and low-income communities hardest with higher electric bills and increased health risks. This is the result of decades of disinvestment, neglect, and economic barriers that have prevented these communities from building resilience to the worsening impacts of climate change. We cannot accept this as the new normal. #CA has a responsibility to proactively invest in the communities at greatest risk to ensure they can withstand the increasingly devastating consequences of climate change. https://lnkd.in/gKUQ-zQk

Heat, and heat absorption in to buildings will become more of a problem as we suffer longer hotter summers. The university college, London has recently published a study outlining the fact that HiReflective painted roof surfaces is more effective at cooling cities than “green roofs”, street level vegetation or solar panels. The department of energy has tested heat reflective wall coatings and proven that they reduce cooling costs and peak cooling load in every climate they tested throughout the USA. Surely it’s worth discussing the use of heat reflective coatings (which cost little more than ordinary paint) to help those most exposed to the effects of climate change?

When you consider the solution to climate change is planned degrowth, and the implementation of a global contruct of power, these manipulations are not innocent. They war on the nation state and the freedoms democracy provides to citizens. Its is not innocent to nod to transnational power as a replacement to the nation state. Please see comment section.
Did you know that cold-related deaths account for 10 times the number of deaths as deaths due to heat??? But when it came to presenting the results, they pulled a graphical sleight of hand….. big surprise right?? 🤣 The graph on the left is from a Lancet article and the graph on the right is the visually correct version created by the CO2 coalition. You can see the classic trickery employed by climate alarmists here, trying as best as possible to paint heat as worse than it is and cold not as bad as it is. This involved changing the X axis from which the 2 statistics are being measured. Big thank you to the CO2 Coalition for spotting this and creating the correct version which CLEARLY shows that cold is way more deadly than heat with a more than 10x the severity in some countries.l. Now obviously burning to death in a fire is pretty grim but that is not what is happening like the climate zealots would like you to believe…. #climatecrisis (farce) #climatechange

President @ Longview Strategies | Living at the Intersection of Communications, Finance, and Sustainability | Sustainable Investing | AI and Sustainability | CSR Reporting
Well, sure, but how does climate change affect ME, you know? "...extreme heat is costing billions of dollars in crop yields, energy prices and lost productivity. It’s also killing people. In the US, heat is the leading cause of weather deaths — ahead of hurricanes, floods and tornadoes — responsible for an estimated 1,200 fatalities each year. In 1995 in Chicago, an extreme heat wave killed over 700 people. In the Pacific Northwest in 2021, another heat wave resulted in some 600 excess deaths." #climatechange #sustainability

The relationship between health and climate is intricate. Climate change impacts air quality, water, food sources, and can lead to various health issues like respiratory problems, heat-related illnesses, and the spread of diseases. Efforts to address climate change often involve measures that can improve public health, like reducing air pollution and promoting cleaner energy sources.
