Jaime, Thank you for bringing your forensic skills to bear yet again. Please keep at it.
At my age (70s), I find it difficult to fathom the "it's worse than we thought" mentality which seems to have become so pervasive in the last couple of decades or more. A number of factors, perhaps: poorer ejukashun, gormless acceptance of "elite" pronouncements, more gullible MSM, the wildfire spread of what is essentially propaganda through soshul meeja. and so on.
These clots are not scientists. As Gary points out, if they were, they'd be working strenuously to disprove their own hypotheses. (I nearly wrote "prejudices" there.) Richard Feynman would take a rather dim view!
Thanks for the analysis, and calling out the bull***t. This is using statistics [cherry picking data and using models] to "prove" ideology is getting silly. You are right that excess deaths have been consistently high for weeks before and after the two days or so of heat, and hence in no way can all the excess deaths which occurred in that short window be claimed as due to heat. And isn't interesting how the government and media are silent on all those other excess deaths before and after...
