107 F on the eastside. So glad we have a heat pump and so glad I canceled that “newspaper.”

Well at last there’s an escape from that heat. It’s midnight here in Western Pa and we’re at 76 ....won’t drop much more before we’re in the upper 80’s again tomorrow. Humidity today was at 52 so that ‘thickens’ the heat.

Glad you have a/c....me to!

That’s OK. They understand climate change in Portland. I wonder how many jumped in cars and headed to the coast.

The media exists to divide Americans with class/race warfare.

Thanks. That happens a lot with my local paper too.

If you read the article, it does not exactly say that so called climate change attacks minorities and poor more aggressively than others but says that conditions in poor communities are such that the effects of heat are amplified or less bearable than in other locales.

Kinda a big duh. People have long fled the concrete jungle for other locales to escape the heat and I guess the cold too as people travel south in the winter.

Not really news nor racism, in my opinion.
