The article says 1500 in Europe, I read your message to mean 'in England'.

I was referring to England, and based the "thousands" comment on this report: https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/birthsde...

> To date, 3,271 excess deaths have been recorded during heat-periods in 2022 in England and Wales. This is an average of 82 excess deaths per day, and 6.2% higher than the five-year average. The heat-period with the largest number of excess deaths was H2 (10 to 25 July) with 2,227 excess deaths (10.4% above average), an average of 139 excess deaths per day.

And my point was that it is striking to talk about how climate change is no big deal in England in this context.

A couple thousand excess deaths of people near the end of their lifespan, in a country with over 67 million people? Forgive me if I don't find this alarming.
