This is a very weird article from WHYY in Philthadelphia, the city of brotherly sludge
Wait, I don’t have global heating on here?
As Philadelphia area residents face their second heat dome of the summer, scientists say climate change has made these extreme temperatures more likely. Eight people in the city have died so far this summer due to heat, according to the Department of Public Health. The heat is particularly hard on the very young and the elderly.
A 2024 climate report from the EPA shows Philadelphia area residents now face an additional four to six heat waves each year compared to 60 years ago.
And? That was literally during a slight cooling period during the Modern Warm Period.
This comes as no surprise to Jarrell Patterson who was recently passing out free sunscreen and bug spray to soccer fans heading to the FIFA Fan Festival at Lemon Hill.
“The weather has changed drastically,” Patterson said. “I’m 38 so from when I was 10 to now, summers are getting way hotter.”
His coworker Demetrius Ceasar from South Philly, agreed.
“It’s something we need to discuss more that everybody don’t discuss,” Ceasar said. “We talk about everything else going on, we don’t talk about the earth we live on and how we’re gonna keep living on it. It’s so much war and all this stuff and the gas and everything going on, so it’s like we shy away from this. All that other stuff don’t matter if we ain’t got nowhere to live.”
Right, right, because the media and wacko Dem politicians and all the climactivists never bring this up
Patterson and Ceasar are part of the 74% of people nationwide who say elected officials should be taking “intensified political action” on climate change. Globally, that number is 89%, according to a 2024 Gallup poll conducted as part of research published in the journal Nature. That study, “Globally representative evidence on the actual and perceived support for climate action,” concluded that while the vast majority of those surveyed across 125 countries, most people do not know they are part of such a large contingent, leading to less action, according to the authors.
Well, now, what’s interesting is that only 40% of those Do Something!!!!!! Americans are willing to give 1% of their income to Solve Climate Doom. Funny how the money part is always huge, eh? Oh, and then the Warmists always think Government should Do Something, never figuring out that when Government does something it will effect the people advocating for Do Something!!!
Retired Upper Darby schools superintendent Joe Batory was out for a walk along Boathouse Row and said he was “shocked” to hear that 74% of Americans wanted stronger climate action, thinking it would have been more like 15 to 20%. Batory said while people may want action, they themselves aren’t willing to do so.
Yeah, well, it might be 74% in theory when asked questions for a poll, but, in Practice, more like 5-10%.
