For comparison, Washington Post coverage

These are conditions which kill healthy adults who engage in physical activity outside of air conditioned environments — and water is in short supply in many areas.

    Eww, why use a YouTube video as a source?

    But to expound on my point…

    Participate pollution is what’s fucking India up, and that is a very local issue. In India it’s majorally from coal/wood/cow manure being burnt for heat and/or cooking. When you do that (especially with inefficient methods) pieces of unburnt fuel get carried into the atmosphere, that is particulate pollution

    But you never seem to take my word on this stuff, despite me spending a significant amount of time explaining climate change and pollution to you.

    So here’s some studies and articles, you don’t have to take my word.

    You don’t have to argue about this, you can view it as an opportunity to learn something you’re apparently already passionate about. Learning is a good thing, and it’s a bad thing if anyone ever stops.

        Didn’t click that because it might be another YouTube link.

        But you are right, particulates don’t create heat, it’s not magic.

        It traps heats…

        Like, that’s kind of what climate change is…

        None of it is creating heat, it’s retaining heat from the sun.

        I honestly wasn’t going to reply again, but if you think any type of pollution honestly creates heat, that’s a big enough misconception I feel obligated to point out

        It all just traps and retains heat from the sun. Because of it temperatures don’t cool as much as night, and makes the next day hotter.

        And it just keeps stacking, day after day after day…

            Do you understand that no type of pollution (except some nuclear fallout technically) actually create heat?

              More trolling; you started with victim-blaming and now you’re into the realm of sealioning.

                This is in no way sealioning, this is where the term comes from:

                https://wondermark.com/c/1062/

                Selioning would be like if what I said about India made an Indian keep insinuating the only reason I mentioned India was because I’m racist and hate Indians.

                But back to science (although I do love etymology) do you now understand that the only way any kind of pollution could cause heat to generate is very specific types of radioactive contamination which is rarely just called “pollution”?

                This is fundamental, and you truly seem to care about climate change, so I want to help clear that up.

                    Alright man.

                    So I’m just gonna have some faith that you understand pollution doesn’t cause heat.

                    Small steps.

                    Have a good night, look forward to your next post about climate change, someday you’ll understand the basics.

          You admit you were not listening to the argument. I’m recording this as a loss for you.
