record-breaking temperatures of more than 40°C were forecast in Britain. Schools closed and hospitals cancelled routine appointments. Trains ran less frequently for fear the tracks would buckle. The Royal Air Force had to rearrange flights from its biggest air base after the runway melted. In mainland Europe, things were bleaker still. After weeks of drought, a heatwavein France, Greece, Portugal and Spain. Parts of America are slogging through one of their hottest summers ever.
. This year’s sweltering summer comes in a world that is, on average, 1.1-1.3°C warmer than it was in pre-industrial times. Only the most optimistic assumptions about global action to reduce emissions result in projections of 1.5°C by 2100. In practice,Heatwaves are also happening in more places simultaneously.
There are two explanations for this. First, greater odds of a heatwave in any given region at any given time makes simultaneous events more likely. Second, the atmospheric conditions that cause two separate events may be linked. For instance, the same study found that certain patterns of distribution were cropping up more frequently: concurrent heatwaves in North America, Europe and central and eastern Asia appear more often than is easily explained by warming alone.
Whatever the cause, the consequences are disastrous. Heatwaves kill people and exacerbate existing health conditions. They also cause productivity to plummet. The impacts can cascade when multiple areas are affected. Consider food production. Heatwaves can cause crops to suffer, as happened this spring in India. In three northern states, yields probably fell by between 10-35%. If the failure is limited to one region, others can normally make up the shortfall.
Cold weather kills 10x more people every year. It’s shit for productivity too. Context matters.
Heat can also improve health conditions, e.g. high blood pressure.
God is teaching Western World why the Blackman is black. To God melanin is common sense for the 'Land Of The Sun' as the Romans called the continent but to Europeans black is a curse. Now, guys you are going to be black, unless you repent.
Would be nice to see an article on the opposite side of that how snow storms and prolonged cold periods do the same thing. So glad the economist doesn't have an agenda here🙄

Truth yet more are killed by the cold.
heatwave is a misnomer
Bright side to nights getting warmer
new records will be set as long as summer ends in Europe
Think of the world as a kitchen. It gets hot when you cook regardless of what energy you use— gas, electricity or green fire. It gets hot but you don’t stop cooking. You use AC, the ventilator or circulator to let fresh air in. Efficiency in cooking helps, timing and alternating
The exact cause of the auto accident is unclear, but the occupants were crushed to death.
I see you also got the brief.
The only emergency ready solution we currently have is nuclear power, everything else has been 'coming soon' for the last 3 decades.
A ver si lo entiendo, la familia-bloque que se forro con el petróleo, crítica ahora su uso...debería reírme Tú creas el sistema y críticas alas mascotas que lo siguen, les castigas por dóciles y hacerte caso... Miramos países y contaminación?.poner 1 impuesto para bajar grados?
We believe in things we can't prove and we value things we don't understand. Are we hoping for *solutions* - - to the consequences of OUR DELUSIONAL APATHY ... ... and also hoping to *remain* both DELUSIONAL & APATHETIC?
Totally unproven bs.
