Malta, Illinois | The constant news coverage is annoying for sure. It doesn't change the fact that extreme heat is dangerous for a lot of people. For starters we are not a healthy population to begin with. There is a lot of obesity and lung issues due to unhealthy lifestyles. Yes, it is the fault of those people but it doesn't change the fact that hot weather with high humidity and dew points make it very hard to breath for those folks. As air conditioning became more and more prevalent in the 20th Century I think our systems have been weakened which makes us more prone to heat illness. I love my air conditioning as much as anyone but I do think it weakens our ability to take the heat when we need to. | |
