The heat is gonna getcha

More than hurricanes or earthquakes, the heat is gonna getcha indeed, here in the U.S.

How much more serious is it? Heat and drought combined cause 20 percent of U.S. weather and natural disaster related deaths. Hurricanes, earthquakes and wildfires together caused just 5 percent.

Meanwhile, it wasn’t a cold year, even if it seemed that way; it was just an average year within our ever-increasing series of global-warming related temperatures.
