Floods, Fires, and Heat Domes (the climate change thread) (Part 1)

Two things are causing double trouble for over 400 residents of the island. Heavy ice age glaciers that once weighed down land to the north, caused land around the Chesapeake Bay to rise. Ever since the glaciers receded, the land that was once pushed up has been slowly sinking. On top of that, sea levels are rising, which adds to Tangier’s longtime problems with flooding and erosion.

Gulf states are efffed.

I still do not understand how Doha, right across the Gulf from Iran, considers itself to be the so-called “city of the future”. The entire region will be uninhabitable soon enough.

But in their new study, the 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.

Ars talked about this

Climate change has supercharged this summer’s exceptionally brutal heat all around the world—heat waves are generally getting more frequent, more intense, and longer. But they are also getting more humid in some regions, which helps extend high temperatures through daytime peaks and into the night. Such relentless, sticky heat is not just uncomfortable, but sometimes deadly, especially for folks with health conditions like cardiovascular disease.

And there is also the fact that the interior of my apartment tends to run a few degrees higher than the outside temperature in the summertime. I have sun contact on all sides of my floor.
