This new study finds that the total death toll in Europe during the June heatwave exceeds 20,000 people. "This result highlights the accelerating threat of mass heat mortality events in Europe despite previous adaptations to heat." Pre-print here: zenodo.org/records/2108...
Genau so muss es sein, wenn man nichts ändern will, das nicht ohnehin gewollter Fortschritt bzw. Win-Win ist. Egositisch-kurzfristige Nutzen- bzw. Profitmaximierung ist die eigentliche Brandstiftung, die als neoliberale Normalität natürlich nie thematisiert bzw. in Frage gestellt wird.
Verena Mischitz@vmischitz.bsky.social · last wk.Da fliehen über 300.000 (!) Menschen in Europa vor Feuern, 10.000 sterben im Juni zusätzlich wegen der Hitze, jetzt steht die 3. Hitzewelle innerhalb weniger Wochen an und trotzdem bleibt die Klimakrise Nischenthema. Faszinierend.
I think we're past global warming and into the global frying stage.
“The global average TikTok user watches over 100,000 videos annually, and the average American spends 50 hours a week on screens, 16 of those on social media platforms. An American born in 2025 is projected to spend 21 years of their lifetime looking at screens.” Grim stats. This needs to change.

Andy Burnham cabinet consists of neoliberal foot-soldiers. All supported Privatisation of the NHS by stealth Greater role for private equity PFI Corporate profiteering Benefit cuts Higher taxes on the poor Erosion of jury trials Damaging fiscal rules What will change?
Andy Burnham can’t transform the country while sticking to the current fiscal rules
Sticking to the 2024 election manifesto and fiscal rules will make it harder for him to deliver the headline promises and the change that he has paraded.

I was just there, on a day trip after the SASE conference in Bordeaux. Where thousands of academics had gathered (in unbearably hot university buildings). Many (most?) had travelled there by plane. Still thinking that if we keep doing conferences at all, we need much stricter air travel rules.

Missed days of work or school because of asthma dropped by about 80%. At the same time, indoor levels of nitrogen dioxide decreased by 70%" ⚕️

As long expected. It’s climate science 101. The vapor thirst of the atmosphere increases exponentially with temperature. A law of physics known since the early 19th C (Clausius–Clapeyron law). It causes more drought even if rainfall doesn’t decline. www.theguardian.com/environment/...
