So here's how we should look at all this temperature stuff. The fundamental thing to understand is that there is a cut off point where the human body dies in 6 hours (Wet Bulb Effect)- around 35C to 50C, depending on the humidity. As I keep reminding people, when people die they do not come back - unlike just being ill. These are the two key facts.
The biggest social shock of human history is going to be when the first mass mortality event happens suddenly and what I have written in this post will become the most important information in the world. And then everyone will go - oh fuck fuck fuck. The door of the gas chamber has closed.
THE AVERAGE is completely irrelevant - the horror is in how often the long tail happens - how often a place hits the "all humans die in one day" point.
In case you are interested in how this has worked in history you can read the "general crisis" on the 1C drop in temperatures in the seventeenth century when the global population dropped by a third. You can see that the mass death events happened all in one go when extreme climate events happened - droughts and extreme cold temperatures. When these happened two years in a row it took generations for the population to recover. And it did of course. But this time round it will never change. It will just get worse.
The researchers concluded: “The geographic range and frequency of non-compensable heat extremes will increase rapidly, given only moderate continued increase in global average temperatures. This implies that, in the near future, a substantial portion of the world’s population will be exposed to these non-compensable environmental conditions.” “a real risk” of widespread exposure with “hundreds of millions of people” affected before they were sufficiently heat-adapted to avoid attendant increases in deaths and illness." https://t.co/SUTKgFGrsA…….
🇺🇦On Flag Day, we honor the blue and yellow banner that unites a nation in resilience and hope. In the face of the Russian invasion, this flag has come to symbolize the strength and determination of people who stand firm in their fight for independence.
I think this paper is a Denial Of Peer Review Attack (DOPRA). It's kind of like a DoS (denial of service) attack. There is so much data, so many methods, so much code, so many figures, so many panels, so much supplement, so much text, that it is overwhelming. 18/

@JoeBiden The US and the World were in capable hands during your presidency. Your support for NATO and Ukraine, the Inflation Reduction Act, and efforts to reduce carbon emissions were invaluable. Stepping down ensures Kamala Harris will defeat Trump. Thank you, President Biden.
I am beyond proud to introduce you all to the trailer for my first ever feature length documentary.
This is the story of The Battle For Kyiv, told from the ground, as Russia attempted to capture this city.
Two years later to the day, Kyiv still stands.

This NASA visualisation has it all: It shows the CO2 emitted into the earth's atmosphere + clarifies who is responsible for the climate crisis: we, the Global North.

Today, the GHG level in the atmosphere exceeds 500parts per million (ppm), compared with the pre-industrial level of 275ppm. A safe level for humanity is about 350ppm, so we must remove excess GHGs already in the atmosphere.
