The Heat Will Kill You First is the title of a book I wrote about the dangers of extreme heat. It is also quite literally the story of 24,400 people's lives in Europe this summer. Why so many deaths? This new study shows that 16,500 of those people were killed by the burning of fossil fuels.

The greatest advantage of Trumpists is that can say whatever they want (no matter how false, racist, inconsistent, or nonsensical) and suffer absolutely no consequences. You don't have to understand any issues or reality - you just make up shit and sound confident about it.
