It's time to name heat waves like we do hurricanes (2024)

• delichon 1y ago
  Since cold waves are more deadly why prioritize heat waves?

    Because it goes with the narrative

      Climate change isn't a narrative.

        Why not? Not all narratives are fictional. They're just all stories. Although the part I always find a bit weird with climate change is that all the counter-arguements seem so poor. Like even if somehow it's not man-made, if the earth is going towards a less habitable climate for humans then we should make it man-made in the other direction!

    They are more deadly for now. Heat waves are just the most visible part of the changing climate.
