You're writing about farms, there are 1000 barns taken down in the state of Wisconsin alone in one year.

Small and average farmland is being developed for subdivisions and private homes.

Sad!

In 2019 there were 892 heat related deaths in England. In July 2021 there were 915 heat related deaths in England, but I do not remember record temperatures then.

June of 1953 is England's hottest June on record.

Could you provide a reference for England listing drownings as heat death?

I am not sure of the point of 1953 being the hottest record for June. Climate change means more volatile weather over time. Some hotter some colder, more droughts, more hurricanes and more etc... Eventually more countries will experience record highs and lows - but at the moment we are on the leading edge of what we have been warned was coming, and we chose to ignore. Our grand children and great grand children will pay for our arguments.

No, several decades of family riding bicycles in both cold and hot climates.

I discuss things with my PCP for professional advice and that is a paraphrase of what she says.

I hope that is not what you meant. I don't consider any here to be my enemy - from my perspective we are all American's first. Sadly some politicians and some media seem to be trying to drive a wedge between us, and I hope we can see through that and treat each other with respect as fellow Americans.

Isn't this something we all expect every year in July and August nationwide?

I don't like to hear about the heat related fires that is taking place out west, but I need to say.

We Floridians experience 90+ degree days for months on end and we don't make the news....

Maybe people just have to use a little common sense in the heat.

Common sense is due Dilligence before picking up and moving there.
