WUWT
According to Bob Ward writing on the London School of Economics website,
if we don’t name climate change induced heatwaves where temperatures
exceed 82F, people won’t realise how deadly they are.
Where I live on the edge of the tropics, if the Australian MET
started naming individual days or weeks when temperatures soar over 82F,
they would run out of names.
While 863 or 2,500 excess heat deaths is a tragedy, Britain should
probably be more worried about the massive spike in winter deaths, 50,000 excess winter deaths which occurred last year according to official figures, and the rampant British green energy fuel poverty which makes the elderly and other people with low incomes hesitate to switch on their air conditioners or heaters."
