"There is a fundamental limit to the body’s coping ability: it is a fixed goalpost.

Research in 2010 demonstrated that a ‘wet-bulb’ temperature of 35 degrees Celsius or higher would make it impossible for humans to exhaust metabolic heat, due to our fixed core body temperature."

A staggeringly high number of humans will die in the run up to this goalpost.

Neymar's trip cost two times 5,000 km (Paris-Riyadh) times 12 liters of kerosene per km = 120,000 liters of kerosene. Imagine burning 1,000 bathtubs full of smelly kerosene to get the picture. That emitted 300 tonnes of CO2 into the atmosphere, and indirect global warming effects of flying roughly doubled the climate impact.

Living in the shadow of a dangerous shrinking glacier

Melting glaciers are leaving behind large, unstable lakes around the world. Millions of people live downstream, in places increasingly threatened by deadly flash floods. What will it take to protect them?
