A Purple Alert – IOTW Report

A Purple Alert

Fox News

Forget about red hot. A new color-coded heat warning system relies on magenta to alert Americans to the most dangerous conditions they may see this summer.

The National Weather Service and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Monday — Earth Day — presented a new online heat risk system that combines meteorological and medical risk factors with a seven-day forecast that’s simplified and color-coded for a warming world of worsening heat waves.

  1. Magenta is Riffraff’s sister. And the temperature “record” or data if you will is a joke. Sore spot with me, as an instrument and measurement guy. NOAA should be shot.

  2. Fear mongering.
    Where I live it get cold in the winter and hot in the summer.
    The Marine Corp had 3, green, red, black. In South Carolina we had a lot of black days in the summer. Which was stay indoors.
    Having grown up on a farm, if it was hot you worked anyway.

  3. I did read somewhere yesterday that Global Warming disproportionally affected homos, so maybe this is aimed at them. Seems like the government is run by hysterical fruits now.

  4. All part of pussifing America.
    While American kids are trying to figure out their gender.
    While other countries are teaching their youth how to field strip weapons and hate America.

  5. “Heat is by far the No. 1 weather cause of death in the United States, said National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration chief Rick Spinrad, citing CDC data of 1,200 deaths per year. Last year was the hottest year on record globally.”

    approx 3 million people die per year in the US
    1200/3000000 * 100 = 0.04%

    0.04 friggin percent

  6. This reminds me of the airport alert system that was rushed into effect right after 9/11. Remember the lights in the airports? They ended up on yellow and never changed. That lasted about a year before everyone ignored them and then they were soon pulled down.

  7. I have grown weary of these leftists and climate alarmist Islamist anti Jew weirdos. Do I or do I not need to put on more sunscreen on before I burn my Israeli and American flags?

    It’s just confusing what it is that you are dictating, dictators.

  8. I just had friends from the UK come to visit me. They went on and on how freaking cold it is over there. They wished they could move to Texas, but they aren’t the right color so our government doesn’t want them here.

  9. Purple is perfect for those who can’t figure out what sex they are. That’s probably why this gov’t org is pushing it. Gotta include every shade of insanity in the universe, ya know. Don’t want to hurt anyone be excluding them.

    Somewhere between red and blue is purple. Somewhere between male and female are a bunch of sickos who maybe have not recently looked at their privates.

  10. What a bunch of socialist miseducated tools. They know nothing about color for media. According to the color wheel, red is a primary color, along with blue and yellow. Beside black and white the primary colors are the most intense and pure. All other colors are made from the primaries, including purple, what these idiots think is magenta – a whole other discussion.

    Purple in fact is a secondary color along with green and orange. All made from the primary colors. Purple is made of red and blue specifically, which reduces the intensity of the color and moves it towards the blue side of the color spectrum.

    Blue is considered a ” cool” color and red a “warm” color. That fact alone proves why red is always used as a color for alerts, warnings and urgency – sometimes even yellow. Red is a perfect color to represent heat risk, even if it’s a symbol of fictitious Climate Change.
    It gets your attention quickly.

    “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” is a foreign concept to the left’s central planning cadre of deception, redefintion and misinformation.
