New research shows humans can tolerate less heat than previously believed. As global temperatures rise, this finding underscores the urgent need for climate action to protect public health. #ClimateChange #HeatTolerance #PublicHealth

Intriguing bit in this video about ketamine + rapamycin improving heat tolerance (this is not a recommendation - I don't know enough about it)

Adult #coral can handle more heat and keep growing thanks to heat-evolved symbionts https://phys.org/news/2023-11-adult-coral-heat-evolved-symbionts.html paper: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/gcb.16987

"The #algae used in this study had their heat tolerance bolstered in the lab by exposing multiple generations to elevated temperatures for 10 years... the #symbionts were able to maintain a #symbiosis with adult #corals for two years, promoting faster coral recovery from #CoralBleaching and enhancing their #HeatTolerance without trading off on growth."
