GREEN HYPERBOLE: Cities are 'heat islands' that kill people unless global warming.

The problem is acute in Louisville [KY]. A 2012 study from the Natural Resources Defense Council estimates that 39 people die every year in Louisville from heat-related causes. That means that a city with .2 percent of the U.S. population experiences roughly 6 percent of heat-related deaths every year. The problem is only likely to get worse. Unless Louisville’s warming trend is reversed, the cumulative death toll could reach 18,000 by the end of this century—a projection that far exceeds that for any other city.

Umm, the average high temperature in Louisville, KY, during the months of June, July, and August is 87 degrees. The city averages just one day a year when a daytime high reaches into the 100s.

In Venice, FL, the summer average high is 90 degrees; in Austin, TX, it is 95 degrees. Phoenix, AZ, a mere 104 degrees. How many people do those 'heat islands' kill every year?

Idiots.
