DID YOU KNOW:

"Across Europe, 21 of the EEA-38 countries have Heat-Health Action Plans (HHAP) in place, and another 4 are developing HHAPs. Likewise, 20 of the EEA-38 countries currently have surveillance systems in place and 3 additional countries are developing heat-health surveillance systems.

Will we see more #heatwaves this summer?

According to the Met Office, having a hotter summer is now twice as likely than the period of 1991-2020, which is consistent with our warming #climate.

Some people still ask whether one particular heatwave can be blamed on #ClimateChange. That question misses the point. Human-made global warming has loaded the dice. #Heatwaves that were once exceptionally rare are becoming increasingly common, lasting longer & reaching higher temperatures than they otherwise would have. Scientists have repeatedly demonstrated this through attribution studies. The evidence is overwhelming. (6/17)

A warmer atmosphere does not simply mean slightly higher temperatures. It means more intense #heatwaves, stronger storms, prolonged droughts & increasingly unpredictable weather. Every fraction of a degree matters, because every increase raises the likelihood of catastrophic events. (5/17)

* Fourth toddler dies in France as Europe’s brutal heatwave forecast to shift east
“Extreme heat will occur more frequently, for longer duration and with greater intensity as global warming continues...The extreme temperatures had been made possible by the climate crisis driven by fossil fuel burning." >>

* Johan Rockström on Planetary Boundaries (podcast)
“In the mid-1950s, we humans shift from being this small world on a big planet to now being a big world on a small planet. We've simply filled up the whole space. When you've reached that saturation point, the old economic paradigm doesn't work anymore. We've come to the end of the road of this idea that you can exploit for free and then waste without any consequences." >>

"Emerging research – including a preprint of a paper led by researchers at Cambridge earlier this year – suggests datacentres create a heat island effect, pushing up temperatures in their immediate vicinity by an average of 2C, and as much as 9C."

ANALYSIS | Air conditioning could make European city heat worse | CBC Climate Change News

Hundreds of people are dead from Europe’s heatwave, in a continent where air conditioning is not the norm. But while ACs may save lives, they can also make the problem worse.
