Uk heat deaths
The UK may have had between 500 and 900 early deaths due to the heatwave. This pales into comparison with the estimated near 10,000 in France, but is still pretty bad. Let's hope the UK gets more sympathy from right-wing US bloggers than France did, where they seemed to think it was all a trick to lower the uniqueness of September 11th (don't ask me how they came to this conclusion). As Matthew Ygleisas has noted in a different context, 'Can there ever be a decent Right?'.
