View Poster Headlines Global Warming Blamed for Heat Wave in China One man's heat wave is another man's cold spell humidity In 2003 , more than 35,000 people died in the heat wave that scorched Europe. The summer of 2006 has been another record-breaking period, with the mercury reaching new highs worldwide. In the US, where the annual average number of deaths blamed on heat is about 175, 2006 racked up numbers in the hundreds. Heat caused the deaths of more than 140 people in California alone. World Meteorological Organization estimates that the number of heat-related deaths could double in less than 20 years. In extreme heat the body can have several kinds of reactions: heat cramps : muscular pains and spasms due to exertion. These cramps are often the first signal that the body is having trouble with the heat. heat exhaustion : a form of mild shock resulting from the loss of body fluids through excessive sweating. Increased blood flow to the skin decreases blood flow to the vital organs. Heat exhaustion typically occurs when people exercise heavily or work in a hot, humid place. Signs of heat exhaustion include heavy sweating; skin that is flushed, pale, cool or moist; headache; nausea or vomiting; dizziness and exhaustion. If not treated, the body temperature will rise and the victim may suffer heat stroke.

Heat and sunlight make "chemical soup" that affects air quality From Earth Talk See More About: heat waves air pollution smog ozone ... environment and health zSB(3,3) Dear EarthTalk: Why does air quality get so bad during heat waves? Chad Muller, Wellesley, Mass. This makes breathing difficult for those who already have respiratory ailments or heart problems and can also make healthy people more susceptible to respiratory infections. Air Quality Worse in Urban Areas According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), urban areas are the most susceptible because of all the pollution being emitted from cars, trucks and buses. The burning of fossil fuels at power plants also emits a considerable amount of smog-making pollution. Geography is also a factor. Broad industrialized valleys penned in by mountain ranges, such as the Los Angeles basin, tend to trap smog, making air quality poor and life miserable for those people working or playing outside on hot summer days.

37. The Catholic Record, Sept. 1, 1923. 1923 article from an Ontario newspaper about the hubbub caused by a suggestion to allow children to use a municipal swimming pool during a heat wave. http://www.aloha.net/~mikesch/c-record.htm

"SABBATH OBSERVANCE" A short time ago this staid city of London experienced a tempest in a teapot over Sabbath observance. It was proposed to allow the children to use the municipal swimming pool during the sweltering weather we were then having. Immediately there was a ministerial chorus of protest. One reverend Boanerges valiantly declared that they would not rest until they had routed "the hosts of hell." Presumably he saw in apocalyptic vision the infernal armies lined up behind His Worship the Mayor and others in their impious assault on the sanctity of "the Sabbath." Imagine the consternation in the ministerial association and the jubilation amongst the hosts of hell when they read in the London Free Press of this dastardly flank attack on their citadel of sabbatarianism: "That Sabbath observance in the strict sense of the law of Israel, whether on the traditional or any seventh day, is no concern of the Christian, was the assertion of Rev. J. Marion Smith, of Emmanuel Baptist Church, Toronto, in his evening sermon yesterday at the Talbot Street Baptist Church." And this under a two-column heading: "Sabbath Observance Not Any Part of Man's Duty as a Christian!" True, Mr. Smith was speaking to the "interogative subject," "Can a Saved Man Be Lost?" That is quite a big subject in itself; but we shall take first his pronouncement on the Sabbath, which evidently struck the reporter and the city editor as the more sensational if not the more important part of the sermon. The report of the Free Press Continues:
