Climate change is posing an increasing number of challenges, including on European railways. The International Union of Railways (UIC) has launched the Resilient Rail (RERA)…
Earth recorded its hottest year ever in 2024, with such a big jump that the planet temporarily passed a major climate threshold.

Three government climate agencies in Europe and Japan say last year’s global average temperature easily passed 2023's record heat and then went past the long-term warming limit of 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7 degrees Fahrenheit) since the late 1800s that was set as a target by the 2015 Paris climate pact.

Long-term exposure to #HighTemperatures — even if they’re not abnormally high — is a growing health risk, particularly for outdoor workers and disadvantaged communities. [And plants and other living things]

#EDF cuts #nuclear production in reaction to soaring temperatures
Story by Eleanor Butler
August 14, 2024
"EDF has reduced its electricity production at nuclear sites in France in response to soaring temperatures.
"Three reactors are currently affected, although the energy provider has said 'there is no safety risk'.
"A reactor located at the #BugeyNuclearPlant, a site near Lyon, has been closed since 12 August.
"Also near Lyon, the #SaintAlbanNuclearPlant has experienced production cuts since 11 August, and similar measures are being taken at the #Tricastin site. This is located in the South East of France, north of Avignon.
"Heat-related incidents aren't a new complication for EDF but rather a recurring problem, as exemplified when the firm published a #ClimateChange action plan last month.
"The firm classed #heatwaves as an 'acute risk' but estimated that annual production losses linked to #water resources would only amount to 1.5% in 2050.
"Today, these losses amount to around 0.3% of production a year for EDF.
"#HighTemperatures can interfere with nuclear processes as reactors are heavily reliant on water."

WASHINGTON, D.C. –– After several days of temperatures hovering around 100 degrees, especially near the Washington, D.C. area, NEC railroads are reporting operating problems due to the extreme heat.
Winter? What winter?
