My library's free access to the New York Times is failing recently, and I refuse to pay them any money after the "Biden is old" campaign they ran on their pages, so you just get this headline.

NY Times: Why Heat Waves of the Future May Be Even Deadlier Than Believed

The body’s cooling defenses fail at lower “wet bulb” temperatures than scientists had estimated.

"About 14.7 million people are under an excessive heat warning, with heat indexes expected at 110 degrees Fahrenheit (43.3 degrees Celsius) and above. Another 10 million people were under a heat advisory.

In Fort Worth, Texas, hundreds in August have sought emergency care due to the heat, according to MedStar ambulance. The service responded to 286 heat-related calls during the first 20 days of August, about 14 per day, compared to about 11 per day in August 2023, according to public information officer Desiree Partain." #TXwx #heatwave #heatstroke

Rack up another (another!) heat illness death in Death Valley this year!!

"A man died of heat exposure at Natural Bridge Trailhead on August 1,.Bystanders saw Robino stumble as he returned from the one-mile roundtrip Natural Bridge Trail. The bystanders offered to help Robino, but he declined. They said his responses did not make sense. Robino got in his car and drove off a steep 20-foot embankment at the edge of the parking lot. The car rolled over and airbags deployed.... ...NPS EMTs started CPR and moved Robino into the air-conditioned ambulance. Robino was declared dead at 4:42."

Man's car in a ravine, after he drove off the edge of the parking lot suffering of heat illness -- dark green car, airbags deployed, dents in the hood. The hillside is barren and has many rocks, no plants obvious except a few bits of scrub. The sky is blue with some clouds, but it's clear the heat is unforgiving.
