Maybe find microbes that will help people adapt to #heat because that is what #climatechange is bringing us in spades. And then maybe make these available for free to the poor parts of the world so that everyone has at least a chance to survive.

“reliable weather is long gone”
“much more widespread than just 1 or 2 bad years temporarily hitting #coffee production in certain areas”
“increasing variability in weather could lead to increasingly unstable prices”

A new #climate analysis suggests #coffee-growing regions worldwide face, on average, 47 extra days of crop-damaging #heat per year because of #climatechange. Smallholder #coffee farms, which form most of the industry, may not be able to survive https://www.cbc.ca/news/science/coffee-climate-change-heat-rain-9.7094800

The #heat suffocates, the #fires rage - even by #Australian standards, this summer is brutal

In the first week of January, the country’s south-east experienced the most significant heatwave since the 2019-20 “black summer”. Major cities sweltered: it reached 41C (106F) in Melbourne and 43C in Adelaide. In other parts of the country, the mercury climbed north of 45C.

“A new analysis found that #climatechange has already added weeks of #coffee-harming’ #heat to the world’s main #coffee-producing regions”
“Among the top 5 #coffee-producing countries — #Brazil, #Vietnam, #Colombia, #Ethiopia and #Indonesia — #Climate Central calculated an average of 57 additional days per year above the 30°C threshold that would not have occurred without #climatechange. Together, those 5 origins supply roughly three-quarters of the world’s #coffee”

Good morning tooters. It was a warm humid night last night & I kept the aircon on until nearly 4am 🫤. It did guarantee me a half decent sleep though & when I got up just before 6am it was still 24c. Today the high won’t be too bad reaching 31c it’s quite pleasant outside. All the doors & windows are open & there’s a very light breeze around & today is still quite cloudy.
I haven’t watered yet, but the humidity would have kept things damp’ish anyway. I will do that job when I get home from the pool later this morning. I have double checked the weeks program & the lane availability & all lanes are open yaaay. So I’ll be on my way there in less than half an hour. Really looking forward to that lovely cool water as well.
Hope you all have an enjoyable #Wednesday stay cool out there 🌻. #Weather #AussieSummer #Heat #HumpDay #Swimming #Exercise

Heavy hot winds all day. The trellised #tomatoes are still upright. Yay!

#Rain radar looks promising but - it’s been looking promising since midday.

Either the rain is going to go around us again or it’s just slow in getting here.

The #sheep & #alpacas aren’t looking bothered by the wind or the #heat. 🤗

Aboriginals struggle to pay electricity bills for cooling during heatwaves.

Climate Crisis, yes, but sounds more like social justice crisis to me: it’s not like Australia lacks solar power potential, especially when it’s hot!

"The Trump administration on Thursday revoked a scientific finding that climate change is a danger to public health, an idea that President Donald Trump called 'a scam.' But repeated scientific studies say it’s a documented and quantifiable harm.

Again and again, research has found increasing disease and deaths — thousands every year — in a warming world."
