"The peak intensity of the heat dome was record breaking for the SE US in late July. It peaked at 3.7 standard deviations, based on statistics from the past climate records we have, which means this heat dome is rare, if not virtually impossible, in our former climate of the 1900s. But human-caused climate change now makes these extreme heat domes much more likely."

"Donald Trump’s administration on Tuesday proposed revoking a scientific finding that has long been the central basis for US action to regulate greenhouse gas emissions and fight climate change.

The proposed Environmental Protection Agency rule rescinds a 2009 declaration that determined that carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases endanger public health and welfare."

Fun fact, it was so hot yesterday that the motor on my ebike overheated while I was cycling home... up a hill. So, yeah, yesterday, I inadvertently learnt about "limp mode".

For your bike to suddenly throttle halfway up a hill is both disconcerting and exhausting.

Thankfully, the motor is working fine this morning, but lesson learnt; my bike is now parked in my air-conditioned lab.

Wow, first graphic out of NWS Los Angeles in months.

" Unseasonably hot weather will affect the area today and Thursday, with highs in the 90s to 105 degrees away from the coast, and 70-80 degrees along the beaches. There will also be elevated to brief critical fire danger through early next week over the interior and SW Santa Barbara County."

"Planet-heating pollution tripled the death toll from the 'quietly devastating' heatwave that seared Europe at the end of June, early analysis covering a dozen cities has found, as experts said the worsening health crisis is being overlooked."

1/🚨 Heat Wave Reminder: Check In, Speak Up, Save a Life☀️

After teaching my strength class at the Milano Senior Center in Melrose today, I was driving home when I noticed an older woman sitting alone on the curb. It didn’t feel right—especially in this dangerous heat. I turned around, flagged down a nearby police cruiser, and let the officer know I was an EMT-B and concerned.

We found she…

As the #heatwave warnings are spreading across Europe, may be the "how does furries cope with wearing full body costumes even when it is warm?" question again deserve some attention.

We do not have "superpowers", we have a "secret", a while back, a furry started to make cooling vests to wear under the suits.

The cooling elements used keep a pretty constant, "cool" temperature for hours, warm enough that you will not hurt yourself by having the element on your body for a long time. The warmest element keeps is 21c, and while that does not sound like cooling a lot, 21c is a LOT cooler than 40c.

These things prevent us from over heating while in suit, something that can be quite dangerous. You do not need to be a furry to buy them though.

The vests cost a lot, but even "spare inserts" for cooling collars helps a LOT, but if you go for a "smaller" solution, 15c elements might be better.

I am not affiliated, but have used their products for years, it durable and high quality.

Are we going to take global heating seriously now?

Or just focus on supporting genocidal regime of Israel and the big oil pushing for wars everywhere?

The weird thing about being in the middle of Europe's latest scorching heatwave… is that it's also one of those rare moments where the ongoing media freakout at sustained 40C weather, is vaguely in tune with my own sense of our impending climate doom.

Though I have no doubt come next week, people will happily go back to ignoring the climate crisis, while papers switch back to recommending the best flights to Marbella for a weekend getaway.
