Yeah, I saw you take that fossil fueled trip down the road when you could have walked
Ignoring climate change will lead to “ultra-extreme†heatwaves
In a new study from the Max Planck Institute for Chemistry, experts report that ignoring the signs of climate change will lead to “ultra-extreme†heatwaves in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) that are extremely damaging to human health and society.
To assess the characteristics of emerging heatwaves in the MENA region, the researchers used a mix of climate projections designed exclusively for this geographic area. The team then projected future hot spells based on the Heat Wave Magnitude Index.
“Our results, for a business-as-usual pathway, indicate that in the second half of this century unprecedented super- and ultra-extreme heatwave conditions will emerge,†explained study lead author George Zittis of The Cyprus Institute.
The researchers said that these events will involve excessively high temperatures of up to 56 degrees Celsius – or 132 degrees Fahrenheit – and higher in urban settings and could last for multiple weeks. The consequences for humans and animals will be potentially life-threatening.
“By the end of the century, about half of the MENA population (approximately 600 million) could be exposed to annually recurring super- and ultra-extreme heatwaves,†wrote the experts.
See? Doom! Sometime in the latter half of the century. But, we can fix this by raising your taxes and taking away your freedom, liberty, and choice
To avoid extreme heatwaves in the MENA region, the scientists are calling for immediate and effective climate change mitigation measures, including reductions in greenhouse gas emissions.
Once that type of stuff is added this is no longer science, but politics.
Bwaha! Lolgf
Freedom? Teach are you still upset about being unable to buy incandescent light bulbs?
John-glad you’re so up to speed on things. We’ve been able to buy incandescence bulbs for over a year.
Have you heard about the Biden Government wants to have Covid Passports.
This would require you to put your full health history on a digital passport and would be necessary to go to Walmart, Travel on a plane, Train and to go to many places such as movie theatres.
No passport? Go away.
China has the same thing….its called a social score. It dictates what you can and cannot do…the government determines your score and then gives and takes away based upon how GOOD OF A NETIZEN you are. WRONGTHINK is not tolerated.
In the USA because they do not think this is constitutional the Biden Administration is depending upon BUSINESSES to do the work of the DEMOCRAT GESTAPO. APPLE, SAMSUNG and The couple other phone makers agree to put the APP on your phone where your digital medical files are then transferred.
On this PHONE which is one of the LEAST SECURE DEVICES ON THE PLANET and your daily information is stolen minute by minute by 1000’s of companies and pirates daily your entire medical history including your social Security number, home address, phone number, work number, next of kin etc. is there for all the spy agencies of the world to compile.
Then there is the case of those who do not own a phone. The government will pass a law mandating you own a phone. Apple and Samsung and GOOGLE love them some Democratic Government and sure are glad Donald Trump is gone.
Is it just me or is it the millions of people who are stunned to see the corporations they once supported against Democrats who wanted them gone, obliterated, made radioactive as if they never existed………..suddenly are beginning to comprehend how evil Big Business actually is because now they have joined the political fight on the side that hated them.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Any conservative supporting big business is actually stabbing themselves in the back. This is no longer even overt. Big business has told conservativism to go fuk themselves and laugh as they spend 1000’s of dollars every month on their products.
