"new research on "thermal justice" wet-bulb temperatures, and the deadly inequality baked into our rapidly warming world"
As the hot days of summer approach, two Metro Vancouver municipalities are trying to reduce the risk of extreme heat. New Westminster has introduced maximum heat bylaws for apartments and Vancouver approved a grant to retrofit SROs for heating and cooling.
Since those days, and the present ability to obtain #allergy-safe (for me) #silicone #ElastomericRespirators, the tool has sat unused among many items from those early desperate days.
As locals will recall, 2020 was when #Edmonton experienced the beginning of the #pandemic.
2021 was our first-ever #HeatDome.
2022 and thereafter to the present has seen long stretches of #ExtremeHeat and the switch from #SummerSeason to #WildfireSeason, adding frequently horrendous #AirQuality to the sustained heat.
