To the editor,

Re: Policy revamp might save lives in next heat dome, but so could community, say B.C. experts, June 26.

Please cover hyperthermia and the health effects of extreme heat. Please cover the atmospheric structure that leads to these circumstances. Heat domes are traceable to carbon emissions, time to apply pressure on elected officials to act on climate transition.

Jordon Wallace, Nanaimo
