On the topic of thousands needlessly dead, look at the UN's suggestions:

Useless yapping about opening windows at night, protecting the vulnerable, limiting global warming to 1.5C, and not drinking caffeine.

Is any of this "Call to Action" actually actionable?

Obviously not; and it is pathetic.

What should be actioned:

- remove regulatory hurdles to AC installation

- mandate such installation in residences that otherwise reach unbearable temperatures

- make funds available to subsidize the installation or train more workers for AC installation

That would 'protect the vulnerable'.

Talking about opening windows at night or climate change does nothing, and is performative only.

I think we can all agree that if we just stop talking about climate change, maybe it will go away.
