Temperature tops 48C in #Myanmar; dozens dead in #Philippines so far this year.
Millions of students in all public schools across the Philippines ordered to stay home after authorities cancelled classes for 2 days... avoid outdoor activities & drink plenty of water, but the young & the elderly were told to be especially careful.
#Cambodia this year is facing the highest temperatures in 170 years. #Thailand's Department of Disease Control said last week > 30 people have died from heat stroke, compared to 37 for all of last year.

The rate of emergency room visits caused by heat illness increased significantly last year in large swaths of the country compared with the previous five years, according to a study published on Thursday by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

“The heat you were asked to manage 10 years ago is not the heat you’re being asked to manage today,” she said. One of the first symptoms of heat illness can be confusion, she added, making it harder for someone to respond without help from others.

Gitanyow Nation Hereditary Chiefs now calling on 🇨🇦 governments to address "deceptive ad campaigns" #greenwashing #climateimpacts of #LNG in #BritishColumbia
Ads such as “BC LNG will reduce Global Emissions” are misleading.
#Methane, a primary ingredient of LNG, is "a powerful greenhouse gas that creates more than 80 times as much heat in the short-term as carbon dioxide and 25% of global warming".

All the smoke around Sydney this week is from hazard reduction burns. i.e. controlled burns conducted by the rural fire service to mitigate this summer's bushfire's risk, which has been assessed as particularly high, after three very wet La Ninã years and with a likely El Niño developing.
The #RFS is way behind schedule on this due to all the rain and other complicating factors causing many delays. With temperatures topping 30ºC this weekend, they are rushing to get as much done as they can before the window closes.
Speaking of which, make sure all your windows are closed.
It's a nasty trade-off: to reduce the risk of a climate disaster hitting hard this summer, we conduct an activity with its own risk of air quality for five million people dropping into the toilet for a week. These days of bad air (and even worse nights) will result in premature deaths, increased hospitalisations, and some long-term damage to everyone's respiratory health (esp children).
Once more, given the direct impacts on air quality and the long-term global worsening of #wildfire risk, this moment is another salutary reminder that #DirtyEnergy sends our future up in smoke.

Climate Change Is Driving Ever-Higher Food Prices
"The standout example of how extreme weather can drive up food prices is olive oil. The Mediterranean staple has more than doubled over the last 12 months to $8,000 a metric ton, a record high according to statistics tracked by the International Monetary Fund back to 1990. Extreme heat was the culprit as Spain, the world’s largest producer, was hard hit by drought."

“We can say now that people are dying from climate change, and that’s a different kind of statement than we would have made before”
"By 2050, the number of people suffering from a month of inescapable [extreme] heat could further grow to a staggering 1.3 billion."

In areas most vulnerable to climate change-enhanced disasters, like Florida, the cost of home insurance has gone up so much that it’s now affecting how much lenders will give — potentially pushing many out of the home ownership market altogether.
Others are risking having no insurance at all, gambling on complete financial ruin should their home be damaged or destroyed.

Evidence of America’s — and the world’s — climate migrations are mounting.
In this thread, I’ll collect all the papers, news items and anecdotes I find on the subject. Feel free to contribute by using this tag:
It’s starting with insurers. When homes are destroyed and homeowners lose everything, with no recourse, market forces herd people away from the zones of greatest vulnerability:

I like this piece by @andrewdessler on the inequality that people face in dealing with #climateImpacts.
I'm afraid I too often say things like "we can adapt" without adding the obvious caveat "but there's going to be suffering which will overwhelmingly affect already disadvantaged groups".The Danish #ClimateAtlas is at least an attempt to make sure everyone has the same high quality information freely available. But that doesn't mean the same capacity to act on it

How #Phoenix is dealing with helping the homeless during heat waves via their "Office of Heat Response, the first publicly funded unit of its kind to be established in the US."
It never ceases to amaze me that these kinds of things are rarely reported in the US. You have to read foreign media reports to learn about them.

Extreme heat forces US airlines to limit passengers and fuel loads in the #Heatwave
#AviationEmissions adding to #climateChange which then impacts aviation
“As temperatures increase, there are going to be more occasions, at more places, where certain flights are going to have to take payload limitations or stop en route because they had to short-load the fuel.”

A new report warns that climate impacts are triggering tipping points in the Earth system. Tipping points are thresholds that, once crossed, lead to irreversible and catastrophic changes in the climate and the biosphere. The report urges policymakers and the public to take urgent action to prevent a planetary emergency.

CW: NSW politics: Coalition summary
NSW state election is this Saturday. The current (outgoing?) Coalition government has:
- approved many new/expanded #CoalMines with catastrophic #ClimateImpacts. Their record on biodiversity is even worse: record land clearing, #koalakiller, brumbies, mass fish kills. Not to mention #WaterMismanagement (& #corruption).
- undermined #CivilLiberties to an alarming extent. Compare anti-protest laws and #NSWpolice powers now vs a decade ago.
- corruption scandals aplenty, going right to the top: all four premiers subject to credible accusations of serious misconduct. Two premiers & a deputy premier have resigned as the direct result of #ICAC investigations. Some of them have openly defended #pork-barrelling, which ICAC labels corrupt behaviour.
- privatised the electricity grid & large chunks of public transport. Overseen the creeping #privatisation of health + education, putting crucial infrastructure + services in the hands of #plutocracy, subject to the pernicious effects of the profit motive. All these areas have seen significant erosion of public well-being + satisfaction, with widespread industrial action one symptom of many.
- close ties—philosophically, personally + practically—to the federal #Coalition who finally got the boot last year.

CW: Summary of climate impacts Australia 2022
Australia in 2022: record rain, flooding and heat in a LaNina year. Summary
* background heating from climate change has elevated average Australian temperatures by more than 1.47C since 1910, says BoM.
* The third La Nina event in a row meant new records for rainfall and record flood events, while there was also new maximum daily temperatures for some sites over 50C.
* at least 10 sites that recorded more than half a metre of rain in a day
* #Sydney set a new rain record for the year of 2,536.6mm (Centennial Park site). previous record of 2,194mm set in 1950 (Observatory Hill)
* New Spring record rainfall for Murray-Darling Basin agriculture zone: average rainfall total of just over 295mm more than double the previous spring average of about 120mm exceeding previous record of 251mm set in 2011.
* Late February high rainfall and flood events in #Brisbane, Northern NSW (#Lismore) highlighted with many multi-day rainfall records broken and multiple sites recording more than a metre of rain. Rainfall totals for last week of February in the region were at least 2.5X to 5X the long-term average.
