moderators cannot delete messages. I can only ban people from the thread. Something that I do try to avoid.

Officials in Buenos Aires have declared a state of emergency during a heatwave where temperatures are averaging 36 degrees Celsius. Power cuts and water shortages are affecting hundreds of families throughout Argentina, causing the hospitalisation of some frailer residents. Three people have reportedly died as a result of the heatwave. Some have been without water or power for up to fourteen days. “Without water it’s unbearable,” one man explained. “You cannot live. Above the tenth floor, within 48 hours, it’s a death trap. If there is sun and 38 or 39 degrees – as they are saying – the firefighters are going to bring down bodies.” Another man called on utility companies and the government to take action. “It’s a shame, it’s the first thing that comes to mind,” he said. “It’s a shame. The truth is that you shouldn’t play with people. I’m talking about the electricity companies, politicians, everything. I’m very angry.” =========================================================================== I have to wonder if the person who they quoted in that last sentence, supports the AGW movement to eliminate fossil fuels. Argentina gets 54% of their energy from fossil fuels. How many people will die so that Argentina can go green? The U.S. still gets a good 45% of their energy from fossil fuels, Heat waves happen with or without global warming, arctic cells hit the U.S. every year, with or without global warming. Our energy infrastructure is already fragile due to the closure of coal plants across the country. One little heat wave in Chicago can affect the gird in much of the midwest. We are already vulnerable. What happens when the greenies are successful in destroying our power sources? We won't even be able to handle a normal "warm" summer day. You should really examine what you posted about Argentina. A summer heat wave isn't evidence of global warming. It's weather. But look at how close their system is to the breaking point....one heat wave and people are dying. You posted the best argument there is against eliminating our fossil fuel power generation capabilities.
