Humanity will likely experience new record-breaking extreme heat across the world this year due to the combination of cliamte change and the strong El Niño forming. This is our heatshed moment to act!

📢 This is our “heatshed” moment. Check out my new commentary with @SaraMeerow in the Journal of Urban Affairs' special issue on Extreme Heat in Cities. We argue that we are in a critical moment in history where heat mitigation, management, and governance should be an urgent priority to ensure thriving communities in the face of an overheating world.

#ExtremeHeat is cutting the time people can safely be active #outdoors
Using #globalheat, #humidity and demographic data, scientists found that sweltry conditions now limit light physical activity for #adults ages 18 to 40 for about 50 hours a year, on average. That’s double what young adults faced from 1950 to 1979. Meanwhile, adults over 65 now experience an average of about 900 hours of activity-limiting conditions each year.

Burning fossil fuel and human survivability limits
‘Non-survivable’: heatwaves are already breaching human limits, with worse to come, study finds
"Extreme heat is already creating “non-survivable” conditions for humans in heatwaves that have killed thousands and likely many more, according to new research that warns people are more susceptible to rising temperatures than first thought."
"Climate studies have found that heatwaves are lasting longer and delivering higher temperatures around the world."
“The fact we are so close to physiological limits means that mitigating higher temperatures is essential to humans still being able to live and thrive in the hottest and most humid places, including the top end of Australia and much of the tropics, but especially in India and the Middle East. >>
