Today in the Netherlands they have to splash water on steel bridges to cool them down and avoid damage from the extreme heat.
The costs of extreme weather are grossly underestimated now and in the future.
#ClimateChange
The future we want
Los cereales y demás cultivos no pueden crecer con normalidad en esta temperatura.
La Crisis Climática es inseguridad alimentaria y los “líderes mundiales” están gastando nuestros recursos en bombardear Asia occidental.
Aún no somos conscientes de la ostia que nos va a llegar.
Aún no encuentro a mi papá. Así quedó la casa, ayer tampoco llegaron ayudas, solo éramos familiares y amigos. Todas las máquinas estan en las calles principales y no hay grupos de rescates. ayer las únicas pistas las encontré en ese hueco, hay que seguir sacando escombros
Very long way off and as such the usual caveats apply but the 12z GFS has 40°C and widespread upper 30’s for the 11th July.
Fits with broader expectations re: further heatwaves & extreme high temperatures being more likely than usual through July.
It’s amazing how so many campaigners, cultural commentators, politicians snd ordinary people are so very worried about the future bone density of trans people. It’s cute but they really don’t have to worry
Being assessed, reassessed, or even the prospect of DWP reassessment, is perhaps the most universally triggering thing in this country, and has been for 15 years. When I say trigger I don’t mean upset — I mean self-injury, relapse, admission, suicidality.
37% of new trucks in China now electric. And they're not just the little ones... This is (I think) 49 tons - bigger than allowed in UK and Europe.
This was at one of hundreds of battery swapping stations which give them 550ish kWh in about 5 minutes.
This sort of thing is very bad news for diesel, so of course you'll see a lot of the usual histrionics from oil lobbyists and their acolytes, but it's real, it's cheap, they're powerful and they're probably inevitable.
Please note that the current anomalous temperatures aren't from a baseline of the Industrial Revolution or WW2, they're compared to 1991–2020.
This is how dire things have become over just the past six years.
Imagine where we'll be in six more years …
Le truc qui m’énerve le plus avec le réchauffement climatique c’est même pas que l’humanité cause son extinction et qu’on souffre, mais c’est que d’autres êtres vivants INNOCENTS meurent à cause de nos riches
i feel like as a society we are so desentisized of tragedy that i have seen some speak about venezuela with a level of indifference as if we will recover in no time. thousands of people are dead and buried alive. i repeat: thousands of people are dead and buried alive.
People expect crops to grow in these conditions of land temps over 50 C
Corn crops and fruit are badly damaged and its too hot for farmers to even go out
India too rice crops failing in drought
Vietnam coffee belt is drying up
Expect food shortages and huge price hikes
"L'homme, qui souffrait d'asthme, n'a pas pu être réanimé malgré l'intervention des secours. Son corps avait atteint une température de 42°C, ajoutent les secours."
While Europe boils, worth remembering what the UK’s top risk assessors are warning us the coming decades have in store:
OVER TWO BILLION DEATHS
Also worth remembering that not a single journalist has yet asked a government minister to comment on this.
“Air conditioning to cope with climate change doesn’t make sense, because it just makes it worse”
By that “logic,” you also shouldn’t warm your home in the winter, even though climate change has been making cold snaps increasingly extreme as frigid air leaks from the poles.
Trans people in the UK are facing employment, housing and social discrimination, loss of medical access, loss of access to public spaces and now there's people openly calling for trans peoples total eradication. It's scary to be trans in the UK. People need to speak against this
