Just misses the mark…
I, for the most part, find some of the shows interesting and informative, but when it comes to environmental issues it really misses the mark. The latest on heat related deaths turns toward the climate crisis, which has nothing to do with heat related deaths. In fact, heat related deaths are on the decline! Further, according to a 2021 study published in The Lancet Planetary Health, cold is far more deadly. For every death linked to heat, nine are connected to cold. So, instead of going down the climate rabbit hole, just talk about what is important…how to survive extreme temperatures hot or cold! You driving an electric car is not going to save someone from heat exhaustion…well unless you consider the children in poor countries mining heavy metals to make your electric car batteries…you might actually be killing them.
