So hot we might die?
Relax. If it was THAT bad,
Someone would warn us.

'Indian Niño' drove record heat in 2023 and 2024, new study finds https://phys.org/news/2026-05-indian-nio-drove.html
In 2023 and 2024, Earth's average global surface temperature spiked nearly 0.3 degrees Celsius above what was already expected from climate change. Each year was declared the hottest on record and coincided with deadly wildfires, heat waves and historic numbers of climate-related disasters.
Health risks for England supporters due to extreme Texas heat at World Cup matches

England supporters attending the World Cup opener against Croatia in Texas face significant health risks from extreme heat, according to academic research. Although AT&T Stadium in Arlington is air-conditioned, fans are primarily at risk outdoors, particularly when queuing, walking to the venue, attending fan zones, or travelling home. The World Weather Attribution group estimates a one in three chance that the Wet Bulb Globe Temperature (WBGT) in Dallas will exceed 28°C for the England match on 17 June, a level at which FIFPRO recommends postponing games. While elite players can manage exertion, spectators are more medically diverse and may include older adults, young children, or those with underlying conditions such as cardiovascular or kidney issues. Additional factors, like dehydration, lack of sleep, alcohol consumption, and minimal protective clothing, can exacerbate risks, potentially leading to heatstroke or heart attacks. Fifa has introduced three-minute hydration breaks and will allow one sealed water bottle per spectator, along with cooling measures such as shaded areas, misting systems, and cooling buses. Academics have suggested reconsidering World Cup scheduling to reduce heat-related risks, advocating for earlier or later tournament dates. Overall, the focus is on safeguarding fans’ health while maintaining player welfare during matches.

I am fortunate enough to have had the best teachers of my school era, still available when I was going to school; you know; that place where they teach you to
That part didn't work on me.
All others good things did work
I learned
6CO2+ 6H2O = C6H12O6 + 6O2
This is one of the most important chemical formulas / chemical reactions on Terra
If you've never had any chemistry please go and look it up {sources}.
It's important to know this formula by heart.
If you've had chemistry in school, didn't really like the subject, please also go look it up too.
When you've read the article about this reaction you will understand why I made that statement of massive importance.
Without this Natural Chemical Reaction, life, complex life 🧬 for the species of Homo Sapiens would not be possible!
There are many other reactions in chemistry which dictate what we do, which drive our Corpus, which drive our psyche. I shall not delve into those now, that is for other articles.
With all this knowledge in background, I saw this generic article on chemistry and this molecule jumped out

The carbonates are very important and very interesting chemicals which many occur in nature. In fact, the things that they can do for us are so vast and diverse, that I will just point you to a page where everything is neatly and properly explained, on a technical dedactive level.
Alkaline reactions are a few of the processes that the carbonates can do for us.
Carbonates are used to soften water
Ca2+ + CO2−3→ CaCO3 (s) {sources}
We also use it in cooking, you do that too, when we bake with dough
When you've read just a section of the article, you'll realize that you use this family of chemicals everyday ;)
Chemistry 🧪 has never been a mystery for me. I love the way many processes work chemically, it makes everything in nature so nice and beautiful.
A cohesive comprehension of Nature builds within you, when you understand the mathematics, the physics, the chemistry of processes, which in the beginning seem complex, but are quite simple when divided in the sub processes

Fifa risking player safety over heat at World Cup - scientists
A group of world-leading scientists have warned Fifa its current #heat safety measures for the men's 2026 World Cup are "inadequate" and could put players at risk of serious harm.
