### European Heatwave, Air Conditioning and Climate Policy

- **Episode:** [1882: Buy the Crash](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1882-buy-the-crash.md)
- **Published:** 2026-07-02

Record heat in France has been linked to approximately 1,000 deaths, primarily among the elderly. Despite the danger, some European officials are discouraging the installation of air conditioning, arguing it contributes to further warming. In Rome, wearable technology is being used to monitor vulnerable citizens, while some French citizens reportedly prefer to "suffer for the sake of the environment."

Europe is experiencing record-breaking temperatures, with scientists attributing the warming to human-induced climate change and the loss of Arctic ice. A counter-perspective is provided via an old clip of Greenpeace co-founder Patrick Moore, who argues that carbon dioxide is an essential nutrient for life rather than a pollutant. The segment also references the 2015 documentary "How to Change the World."

A retrospective on the UK summer of 1976 highlights a period of extreme heat where the River Thames dried up and the country faced a 10-week drought. The segment contrasts the "halcyon" and communal memories of that summer with modern climate change alarmism, noting that similar droughts occurred in the 1980s without the same political framing.

### Kamala Harris Population Gaffe and Heat Records

- **Episode:** [1680: Seismic Sundae](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1680-seismic-sundae.md)
- **Published:** 2024-07-25

- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1680-seismic-sundae/chapter/kamala-harris-population-gaffe-and-heat-records.md

A clip of Kamala Harris mentioning "reducing population" in the context of clean energy is debated as either a gaffe or a policy stance. Meanwhile, the EU's Copernicus Climate Change Service reported July 21st and 22nd as the hottest days on record. This is countered by historical accounts of the 1911 New York heatwave, where temperatures reached 100 degrees and caused numerous fatalities.

A climatologist from Environment Canada describes recent global temperatures as "scorching torrential heat," while a Berkeley scientist is quoted calling the data "gobsmackingly bananas." Despite the alarmist language, the climatologist acknowledges that the current weather patterns are heavily influenced by a standard El Niño cycle. The segment critiques the use of hyperbolic language by scientists to drive climate hysteria.

A discussion regarding historical climate data focuses on claims that the U.S. government altered 1939 heatwave statistics to support modern climate change narratives. Analysis of Australian government data suggests a 50 percent increase in random deaths unrelated to COVID-19, leading to allegations of a data cover-up regarding vaccine side effects.
