Examining the heatwaves
The Mercury
|July 03, 2025
WOW! The heatwave in the Northern Hemisphere is astonishingly severe.
The natural summer heat is aggravated, it seems certain, by all sorts of engineering and other economic malpractices by 20th-Century Man.
We look to an effective, scientifically based challenge against this malpractice, which seems about to be launched by climate change activists, who include figures such as King Charles and his son, the Prince of Wales.
This is the Northern Hemisphere summer heatstroke we're talking about. When our turn comes in the Southern Hemisphere in a matter of only months, it seems likely to be considerably worse.
Relax! This is not a rambling rant at those, many in high places, who ignore the threat of climate change. It is prompted rather by the account of dog handler Sean Dilley, who draws on his 25 years’ experience to write for the BBC a piece on the effects of heat on dogs.
