"An expansive #heatwave will spread through the central U.S. as summer officially arrives late this week and then into the East, bringing the hottest temperatures of the year and uncomfortably muggy air to the Midwest and Northeast."

Temperatures in the high 90s, plus high humidity.

" “Every #heatwave that is occurring today is hotter than it would have been without human-induced #CimateChange,” she said.

Otto sounded an additional note of caution: Computer models “severely underestimate” the extreme heat trends we are seeing so far, which means projections for future #ExtremeHeat are likely also underestimates."

An interesting article on heat waves caused by climate change. I feel that article has missed one of greatest threats caused by these heatwaves. All that energy is absorbed by the oceans and contributes to severe weather. Imagine for a second how much energy it takes to warm the sea by just 0.1 of a degree? What then happens to all that energy?

@IndyRichard

Great point.
In fact, more than 90% of global warming goes into the oceans (the atmosphere is a very small fraction of the heat capacity of the oceans). The oceans suffer from marine heatwaves, but also they burp up the heat in the shape of, for instance, souped-up hurricanes, extreme rain, etc.

"U.S. grid operators on Monday directed power plants to maximize their output as wholesale electricity prices skyrocketed during a dangerous heat wave afflicting the eastern half of the country."

"In Boston, the high temperature Tuesday was 102 degrees.
The high temperature in Providence on Tuesday was 100 -- besting a previous all-time June high of 98 degrees last hit in 1945.

This kind of rare, long-duration heat with little overnight recovery can be life-threatening, especially for people without adequate cooling or hydration available."

It’s not just the cities. Extreme heat is a growing threat to rural America.
"Far outside of downtowns, where homes and buildings get farther and farther apart, rural regions face their own long-running challenges that exacerbate the dangers of extreme heat.

While temperatures out in the sticks may not climb to the same peaks they do in downtowns, urban heat islands are surrounded by an ocean of rural heat vulnerabilities."

"Two outdoor graduation ceremonies in Paterson, New Jersey, held during a dangerous heat wave ended with more than 100 people being treated and some being taken to the hospital, authorities said."

It's time for updated rules on housing.

Most places in temperate zones have rules about *minimum* temperatures in housing (so residents don't freeze). Now that needs to be augmented with a *maximum* temperature rule.

"The roadmap [by the UK Green Building Council] sets out a blueprint for action and warns that without the adaptation of millions of buildings, there will be increased injury, health impacts, deaths and untold economic damage.

Five key threats are examined by the roadmap: overheating, wildfires, flooding, drought and storms."

Climate Shift Index

"CSI of level 5 means that a temperature is occurring at least 5 times more frequently when compared to a world without human-caused carbon pollution. This temperature would be very difficult to encounter in a world without #ClimateChange – not necessarily impossible, just highly unlikely."

tengrain at Mock Paper Scissors has the latest Republican plan (As I read him):

Declare citizens, those born in the US, to be no longer citizens, if their parents were born in other countries.

Since these Americans suddenly go from citizen to non-citizen, they can’t be following the rules.

So deport them.

The image depicts a group of firefighters battling a large wildfire. In the foreground, several firefighters are silhouetted against the bright orange and yellow flames. They are wearing dark blue uniforms with reflective yellow stripes, helmets, and breathing apparatuses. The firefighters are actively engaged in their efforts, with some holding a hose and others assisting in the operation. The background is dominated by the intense flames, which are towering and consuming the surrounding vegetation. The scene conveys a sense of urgency and the firefighters' dedication to their task. The text "ΤΟΙΑΘΗΖ POLITISCHIOS.GR" is visible in the bottom right corner, indicating the source of the image.

MIT just pubbed a study on ChatGPT users. “Brain scans revealed neural connection collapse... a 47% reduction in brain connectivity. When researchers forced ChatGPT users to write w/o AI, they performed worse than people who never used AI at all. It's not just dependency. It's cognitive atrophy.”

"Where’s the nationwide INJ against what #ICE is doing? There’s clearly a conspiracy against the CON.

Imagine if Biden shut down 80% of ICE & shifted all the agents to the ATF to do gun chks in TX. That's exactly what has happened in reverse since Jan. We don't live in a country where the rule of law has meaning. We'll fix this w the Rule of Law Act of 2029."

This is the GOP. Explicitly for purging citizens from America...🚨It’s closer to ethnic cleansing.

I deeply resent the fact that I have to spend time otherwise needed to help solve serious #climate and #water problems to trying to defend America, science, and democracy from homegrown fascists, ideologues,war mongers, and just plain dangerous idiots. But here we are.

It is the same fight, Peter. As we March along through time, it becomes increasingly apparent that the rich who are disproportionately causing climate change are set on making sure they profit from it rather than solving it. We become more and more aware that the distribution of wealth from extraction to these people creates huge power imbalances that grind democratic actions, like solving the climate change problem, to inefficacy.

Aotearoa WSM: **The Employment Relations Amendment Bill: A State-Sanctioned Assault on the Working Class**

"The National-ACT-New Zealand First coalition government’s Employment Relations Amendment Bill (ERAB), will see a sweeping series of legislative changes that reshape the legal terrain of labour in Aotearoa. These changes, billed by the government as necessary for “labour market flexibility” and “economic growth,” represent a radical rollback of worker protections. Cloaked in technocratic language and […]"
