O/T:- Just Stop Boil

[OP67]

Fair comment. I would ask how anyone would give the interviewee air time. Another child who feels without any shred of evidence his opinion is fact. Sadly, his view as ludicrous as it is would be treated more credibly on BBC. I much prefer him being scoffed at by people who may not have a clue rather than weight to his non argument.

He was kinda right though, when the temperature is high enough to evaporate sweat then we fail to be able to control our body temperature which is a fact. However you can't boil in your own sweat as you have no sweat to boil in so he just worded it all wrong and tried to link it to climate change which it isn't.

If anyone has ever had heat stroke it is not at all pleasant. As I "teanager" I arrived in a mediterraneon country in summer, spent the first couple of days out walking with a friend, and was laid up in bed for a week as a result with a fever and stomach issues as best I recall.

Whilst the guy was rather naive and poorly informed so were the news (really) presenters.

During the five heat-periods between June and August 2022, 56,303 deaths occurred in England and Wales and were registered by 7 September; this is 3,271 deaths (6.2%) above the five-year average.

So valid points totally ruined by poor research, presentation and media ignorance.
