    This issue has been reported the same way going back at least 20 years. Climate change doesn’t make prisons in the US South any more of a human rights violation. Urgent action on this issue has been needed… for a long time.

      Can’t see your logic. Some decrepit old prison with no air conditioning was 95° in the summer twenty years ago, now it’s 105°, but you don’t think climate change is making such prisons more of a human rights violation?

        Yeah because it was already too hot then. In other words if it kills 12 people in the summer of 2006 and 50 people now in 2023, it’s worse but whether or not it is a violation of human rights is a yes or no question, and the answer is yes.
