Resolves yes; Wikipedia lists 569 dead in just Phoenix from the heat wave this year.

@SneakySly

How is the percentage not higher? Maricopa county is widely reported to have had 425 with 199 still under investigation. Pima county has 64 and Pinal county had 42 just in July. That's easily over 500 in just 3 Arizona counties

Heat-related deaths in Pima County have already exceeded last year's count

Pima County has recorded 64 heat-related deaths so far in 2023, already six more than in 2022, according to the Arizona Department of Health Services.

In 2004, 297 Americans died from excessive natural heat, the lowest number recorded in the last two decades. In 2018, 1,008 Americans died as a direct result of heat. But by 2021, the number of heat-related deaths increased to 1,600, a 59 percent increase from four years earlier and a 439 percent increase from 2004.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) actively tracks daily and weekly heat-related illnesses, and its provisional data shows that 1,714 people died in the United States in 2022 from "heat-related" causes.

How many people die from extreme heat in the US?

As heat waves become more frequent and intense, government data shows increases in heat-related deaths.

And also the 2023 temperature is higher than the temperature in 2022.

it seems like there will be more people dying from heat waves.

What is the source for resolution?

@Stan Wikipedia or someone linking an article

Since this market is at a fairly high percentage I created an additional market with a higher threshold.

Dude, look at Texas. I’d be happy to NOT get internet points from human death but they’re ripping out their metaphorical airbags.

@JohnSmithb9be "ripping out their metaphorical airbags" what does this mean?

@higherLEVELING They’re limiting the number of mandatory heat and water breaks.

@JohnSmithb9be oh ... this affects construction workers from what i'm reading.

@higherLEVELING Quite. The class of workers who are most at risk of heatstroke. Arguably other than farm workers.

@JohnSmithb9be add sign twirlers too.

@JimAusman Ideally Wikipedia.

A major news headline would also be sufficient.
