  2. RE: fediscience.org/@laddkeith/116

    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!

  3. 📢 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.

    The United Nations (UN) Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) has combined with the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) to produce a new report describing in detail how extreme heat waves are putting global food production on the brink of failure...

  6. #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.

  7. BBC: Japan reveals new name for 40C-and-hotter days after blistering summer

    Japan has unveiled a new name for days that reach 40C (104F) or above, after the country experienced its hottest summer on record last year.

    The term - kokushobi - has been translated as "cruelly hot", "brutally hot" or "severely hot"

  8. The US is built for cars running on cheap gas, but we can absolutely change things for the better:

    -Insulate buildings

    -Heat and cool with heat pumps, geothermal, and solar. Electrify everything.

    -Build district geothermal

    - Rethink earth-sheltered, earth-bermed...

  10. 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. >>

  11. Tomorrow City: Heatwave risk, down to your block: the new tool making it visible. “The WRI Ross Center for Sustainable Cities has just launched Cool Cities Lab, a mapping tool focused on understanding the extent of heatwaves and, above all, identifying vulnerabilities in urban areas…. It can assess how heat impacts areas at street level and even street by street, helping to visualize where […]
