Biggest issue of all time!!
These ignorant righties who deny global warming are like those on the Titanic that insisted the ship was unsinkable even as the waters closed over their heads..which were firmly stuck up their asses as they always are! They would rather die of heat than admit Gore was right,,.
Health fears as more record temperatures forecast for heat-baked West
By Tracy Jarrett and Alastair Jamieson, NBC News
More record-breaking temperatures were forecast for western parts of the United States Sunday, part of extreme weather that has already caused at least one suspected heat-related death.
Temperatures will continue to soar well into the 110s and even 120s into the new week ahead across the Southwest, Weather.com forecasters warned Sunday, raising fears that more people could fall victim to the excessive heat.
Hot temperatures will also spread throughout the valleys of the Great Basin and Northwest, but not to the levels witnesses in the Desert Southwest, it said.
