Dozens of people have died in Canada amid an unprecedented heatwave that has smashed temperature records.

Police in the Vancouver area have responded to more than 130 sudden deaths since Friday. Most were elderly or had underlying health conditions.

They said the heat was a contributing factor in many cases.

On Tuesday, Canada recorded its highest ever temperature for a third straight day - 49.5C (121F) in Lytton, British Columbia.

Damn this global warming s*** is getting real

what will those with the power to change these conditions do?

tell the people they have to work harder to fight against pollution that they’re not responsible for

50 °C

my grandpa actually had to go to the hospital here in Portland because of the heat wave

🥵

121?!??!?!??! Holy crap

how the f*** is it 50 degrees in Canada

Crazy how this is the the hottest summer we’ve seen, but will be the coolest of the coming years

god damn

F***ed

Ayo

Mfs didn’t wanna listen

Anytime I brought s*** like this up people would say I was being pessimistic and a Debby downer

Ain’t really much we can do at this point but adapt and survive

talked about centuries more like will be beaten in next 10 years

it doesnt help that the paramedics are understaffed here and they have been taking hours in extreme cases to respond to calls, sometimes never even showing up. the dispatch are not allowed to hang up until an ambulance is dispatched so its been taking like 20mins just to call them

this is hot as f*** even by australian standards

That’s what I am saying

50 degrees man that’s wild, ain’t never seen s*** like this in my life

hot girl summer ahhh

@PerryTheMADLADYPUS come back to Norway Im worried about u

Texas went through a crazy winter storm a few months ago and now the Pacific northwest breaking record heat temps. This s*** is too much

The sad thing is it's too late. This is happening because of the pollution from even before the 90's. Do yall realize how hot the earth is about to get in the next few decades because of everything we're doing now? It's not like we're all suddenly going to stop tomorrow. We're f***ed and the big corporations are f***ing the next generation even harder. If any of yall got kids I really pray for them.
