Census estimates indicate that more than 300,000 people live in areas where average summer surface temperatures are hotter than 90% of the rest of Chicago, or an estimated 5 to 10 degrees warmer than the city average. Latino residents disproportionately shoulder the burden of Chicago’s heat disparities, the data show, while white residents disproportionately benefit from living in areas with the coolest average temperatures.
Climate change is a scam. Should we’d polutecless, Of course! Cli ate and sunspots are cyclical. When you expose the variables the experts become mutes!

Well they can all hangout at Foster Beach during a heat emergency!
Utter crap. The variations in heat within the city may be real, but the small increase in global temperatures (which itself is debatable) sure as heck has not created a deadly situation as described.
As I like to tell the climate change doom – mongers, “The *best* way to mitigate ‘global warming’ is air conditioning…!!!”

What I don’t understand, is that when I look at the map the Channel 2 weather person puts on the screen, it almost always shows suburban and exurbs temperatures HIGHER than the city. Rarely is the city hotter than the suburbs. It may be warmer at night, sure, but the highest tempurature is not hotter than the suburbs. Yet, the suburbs lack the killing.

Well that seals the deal, even Mother Nature is biased and discriminatory. We must rise up against this grave injustice and insist that Mother Nature create an office of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion immediately. This office must be comprised of hundreds of people that sit around doing nothing. Only through this action can the climate be controlled to ensure fairness.
Be careful what you wish for, because mother nature is discriminatory, and governments often find that the best way to remedy mother nature’s discrimination is genocide.

“As climate change increases the frequency and intensity of heat waves” right off the bat the author starts spewing BS. Read Climategate by Brian Sussman, it debunks all these myths. Probably not their intention but lack of green space makes a perfect argument as to why LaSalle Street should not be converted to affordable housing.

Tribune Columnist Says Chicago Weather Is Racist White Supremacy
A largely unasked question is becoming glaring: Is Illinois doing all it should to use artificial intelligence to make government cost less and work better? So far, the evidence says no.
