A public service announcement:
(Kim Stanley Robinson made a wet-bulb mass-death event the opening chapter in his cli-fi book The Ministry of the Future.)
August started today.
I am duly… wary…
Signed,

I hate this so much, “more research” isn’t needed- it’s all been done and climate change is very thinkable. What’s unthinkable is how the hell to convince the billionaire class to leave fossil fuels in the ground. I don’t even think it’s about money anymore, they’ll burn every last molecule just to spite the rest of us.

“Scientists have calculated that the chances of something so patently absurd actually existing are millions to one.
But magicians have calculated that million-to-one chances crop up nine times out of ten.”

It’s all the Weather Channel’s fault.
Ugggh. Every damn breeze has a name now so they can freak out about it.

No safety problems are believed to be involved, Ogiso said.
Presumably that is not referring to the safety of the breathing public.

Here in North Carolina, Duke Energy (the main electric provider for most of the state and most of the surrounding states) has put in a proposal to the state utility commission, supposedly to help further the state’s carbon mitigation goals.
The proposal includes allowing Duke to charge households with grid-connected rooftop solar a fixed monthly fee for the privilege of having rooftop solar connected to the grid, and/or changing the rate for solar buyback from plain net metering to purchasing the excess power from customers at the wholesale rate rather than the retail rate (which is like 3c per KWH instead of 11c).
… To futher the state’s carbon mitigation goals.
Solar homeowners would get the most credit for electricity they feed onto the grid during times when little solar power is produced. Duke’s plan would institute a minimum monthly bill of up to $28 for homes adding solar, and would lower the price paid for their excess power by up to two-thirds from the current retail rate.
