I mean, if they would embrace air conditioning, those numbers would go down dramatically.

I knew suicide was a big chunk of gun deaths, but didn't realize it was over half.

It's probably mostly aged people. Maybe this is a population control measure...

It really is. Mostly affects 80+ year old women, not exactly producers.

European heat-related deaths primarily impact the elderly, women, and urban populations. People aged 65 and over account for roughly 85% of total heat fatalities, with the risk for those over 80 being substantially higher. Additionally, women experience heat-related mortality rates 55% to 63% higher than men.

It's in the OP's chart... 6.5k USA heat deaths vs 5.5K EU gun deaths.

Came here to post this. No way do 45k people get murdered by firearm every year in the US.

That's still 5,500 gun deaths in a part of the world that acts like private gun ownership is some uniquely American disease/afflication.

Air conditioning torn from homes under net zero clampdown


The populace there is allowing the government to torture them when the UK contributes just over 1% of all global greenhouse emissions. And some of them think suffering without air conditioning is making some kind of difference. Wild stuff.
