#DidYouKnow: #ClimateChange and #Heatwaves are increasing Incidents of Wet-bulb Temperatures.

The theoretical limit to human survival for more than a few hours in the shade, even with unlimited water, is a wet-bulb temperature of 35°C (95°F) - theoretically equivalent to a heat index of 70°C (160°F), though the heat index does not go that high.

Teens search for ways to tackle huge urban heat issue in Sydney's west
By Declan Bowring

Urban heat is a major problem in Western Sydney, where temperatures can be 10 degrees Celsius higher than in the city's coastal areas. A new school program is asking teens to consider potential fixes.

This year's gardening gambit: establishing grapevines, in hopes that they will be resistant to future heatwaves (at least for a little while). They seem to be able to grow in Fresno... so thinking that will be a plus here near the California coast, even with increasing heatwave conditions. #gardening #California #heatwaves #climateadaptation

Climate warming and heatwaves accelerate global lake deoxygenation, study reveals

https://www.eurekalert.org/news-releases/1077716

Long-term climate warming and the increasing frequency and intensity of short-term heatwaves are significantly reducing surface dissolved oxygen (DO) levels in lakes worldwide, according to a new study published in Science Advances.

"Freshwater ecosystems require adequate oxygen levels to sustain aerobic life and maintain healthy biological communities. However, both long-term climate warming and the increasing frequency and intensity of short-term heatwaves are significantly reducing surface dissolved oxygen (DO) levels in lakes worldwide, according to a new study"

More than 150 ‘unprecedented’ climate disasters struck world in 2024, says UN
"Floods, heatwaves and supercharged hurricanes occurred in hottest climate human society has ever experienced."

“Global warming continues unabated, exactly as predicted correctly since the 1980s, [and] millions of people are increasingly suffering the consequences. We can only stop the warming trend by getting out of fossil fuels fast. We have the solutions – but what stops us is the disinformation campaigns and lobby power of the fossil fuel industry. Ignoring reality, denying the laws of physics and silencing scientists can only lead to harm, and ordinary people will pay the price for that.” Prof Stefan Rahmstorf, of the Potsdam Institute for Climate
