In this special report, I tell the story of the 1995 Chicago heat wave, which claimed the lives of more than 700 people in a week. It was dangerous, deadly, a disaster for the city that lasted a long time. Morgues over capacity with bodies still flowing in, and a repeat in 1998, this time in Texas and other parts of the nation. 2023 is no joke in comparison to these two unmitigated natural climate catastrophes. This summer has been extremely hot, with an unforgiving and sweltering sun bearing down on billions unable to take it.
