Large areas of India and Bangladesh are above wetbulb 30C.

"...researchers found that the actual maximum wet-bulb temperature is lower — about 31°C wet-bulb or 87°F at 100% humidity — even for young, healthy subjects. The temperature for older populations, who are more vulnerable to heat, is likely even lower."

Table of wetbulb temperatures, showing appropriate responses.
Between 27.1C and 29C, work can only be done for 15 minutes in every hour, assuming 240ml of cool water per hour is drunk.
Above 29C wetbulb, only medically supervised work can continue.

“Today, let’s talk about carbon capture and storage. CCS. The “get out of jail free” card for the fossil fuel industry. The darling of politicians who want to look like they’re doing something about the climate crisis, without actually changing a thing.

But here’s the truth: CCS is a mirage. It makes great promises, but delivers little.”

Re: "A new study tracking Earth’s long-term climate shows how drastically it responds to changes in CO₂ levels…"

You really buried the lede here!

This study says that the climate is MORE THAN TWICE as sensitive to CO2 emissions as the IPCC planning currently assumes.

The IPCC Sixth Assessment Report (AR6) stated that there is high confidence that ECS is within the range of 2.5°C to 4°C, with a best estimate of 3°C.

This study says 8°C.

In case anyone is still counting on carbon capture happening (*cough* IPCC *cough*)

Carbon Capture ‘Not Going to Happen,’ Top Fossil Fuel Advocate Predicts

“In realistic terms, I don’t think it’s ever going to happen,” he added, referring to the prospect of prices for the technology coming down low enough that it can be rapidly and cost-efficiently deployed worldwide.

If you're wondering what the outdoor air quality today in Toronto is like, a scene from the movie Total Recall comes to mind ☠️

The Atmotube has reached its lower operating limits this morning.

#Toronto #Ontario #FireSmoke #AirQuality #ClimateCollapse #MaskUp

Screenshot from the Atmotube app showing a large red zero. Below that, air  quality readings are PM1 - 100 / PM 2.5 - 110 / PM 10 - 115 / VOCs - 0.20. Text below that line says air is severely polluted. In the paragraph below it says at this level it may be necessary to take emergency measures...

🌋 Two years. Two eruptions.
Global cooling. Failed crops. Social unrest. Death.
Just a reminder: when volcanoes speak, the world listens.

This morning, four brave supporters of Just Stop Oil were sentenced to a total of 90 months in prison for an action that never even happened. Daniel, Indigo, Margaret, and Ella were arrested last summer for an attempted action at Manchester Airport and have been held in prison on remand since.

Their trial was overseen by Judge McAdam who stated he was 'neutral' on the topic of climate breakdown and that he 'didn't have time' to read scientific reports on it. Hardly a fair trial when the defendant's actions are guided by climate science. The case came to a close today with the judge delivering custodial sentences to all defendants. 30 months in prison for Indigo Rumbelow, 24 months for Daniel Knorr, and 18 months for both Ella Ward and Margaret Reid along with £2,000 costs for each of them--totalling £8,000 in costs.

They've all spent 294 days in prison on remand since being arrested last summer. They've been removed from their lives, their families, lost their jobs and are facing ongoing legal bills--all for thinking about acting out of love, acting in the face of climate collapse. Now they need our support.

Can you help these brave people cover these costs? Contribute to their fundraiser here.

⬆️ In case you didn't see this already, here's an interesting article comparing the US response to #COVID with the response to the #ClimateCollapse (especially the wildfires in LA), drawing interesting analogies from ME.

Sea level rise will become unmanageable at just 1.5C of global heating and lead to “catastrophic inland migration”

...the new analysis found that even if fossil fuel emissions were rapidly slashed to meet [1.5C], sea levels would be rising by 1cm a year by the end of the century, faster than the speed at which nations could build coastal defences.

The researchers said the “safe limit” temperature for ice sheets was hard to estimate but was likely to be 1C or lower.

Sea level rise of at least 1-2 metres was now inevitable, the scientists said.

“Continued mass loss from ice sheets poses an existential threat to the world’s coastal populations.”

today is #NationalDayOfActionForPalestine. as a student i am taking part in a phone blockade against the #OpenUniversity today to confront them with their complicity in #GazaGenocide by partnering with #BAEsystems in particular but also #Microsoft #Google #Alphabet, and #CISCO.
Their immoral conduct makes me and fellow students & staff involuntarily complicit in #WarCrimes #genocide & #ClimateCollapse across the globe, by funding them with our tuition fees and normalising the arms industry profiting from death and instigating wars.

i urge you to follow our FB page, inform yourself of the facts, and take personal responsibility by supporting us through sharing our posts and signing petitions. as the #OU is a global online uni we don't have the opportunity to occupy or physical protest so we need your help!
