If you think this summer's heat waves are bad, just wait for the future

The frequency of hot weather has increased and the duration of high-risk heat has increased. These facts seriously remind me of reports published by climatologists at the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory in Colombia at the end of last year. Researchers report that the thermal stress can exceed the endurance of humans by the end of the century, given the current climate change trajectory.
Mr. Ladley Houghton, a climatologist and research writer, said, "Climate change has exacerbated scorpions and promoted frequent extreme heat events." "Since 2000, the record high temperature in the US has almost doubled the record minimum temperature."
The report discusses "wet bulb" measurements, indicators of heat and humidity combination. This news is not particularly good for southeastern United States, South America, Africa, India, China.
Ethan Coffel, senior author at Lamont-Doherty graduate student, says: "But they are expected to occur at the end of the century."
The most serious predictions in the report are set in the future, but the period of increase in temperature and humidity already has a great influence on health.
"Health risks related to extreme heat and moisture are still underestimated," Houghton said. As future temperatures and humidity rise, more and more areas will face dangerous situations for outdoor work. ""
This news is not fun, but as a result of these investigations - needless to say, this summer's recordable temperature and sluggish sultry - reminds us that we need to reduce carbon emissions I will. There are the following methods to change the current situation.
Like the cold water on the sand, the waves of summer heat ~ summer heat ~ the glow of the heat shines on the ground and gives brutal courage, but it exists under land, dry desert air, cruel sun Shen Shin burn, barbecue, barbecue, genuine water image is actually fake, and your ankle is on the ground, you can not easily lift one foot, so your energy is destroyed You look for only shadows, trees, leanto, huts and caves, escape from paradise really from this evil heat wave ~ bjf ©
Thermal waves are abnormal and periods of overheating weather. The most serious heat wave in recent history is the heat wave of Europe in 2003. Summer's hot weather in Australia's Victoria created conditions that caused a massive wildfire in 2009. In Melbourne, temperatures above 40 ° C (104 ° F) have been experienced for three consecutive days, and in some areas it got hotter and hotter. Jungle fire collectively called "Black Saturday" is partly an action of arsonists. Summer of the Northern Hemisphere in 2010 caused severe heat waves, more than 2,000 people died. It caused hundreds of forest fires, causing widespread air pollution, and burning thousands of square miles of forests.
What is wrong with this? In the early autumn sea "heat wave" brought the sea surface temperature of the Atlantic western part to the warmth of the bathtub. Just as the ocean continues to warm even with moderate global warming as well as the frequency and intensity of heat waves occurring on land during summer greatly increases, these sea heat waves become more frequent It becomes extreme. Under all other conditions, the warm sea means more energy to exacerbate tropical storms and hurricanes. In this sense, the argument that we see more or less storms in the warm world is sometimes incorrect. The important thing is that there is a consensus that we see a stronger and worse flood storm - in fact, we saw them. This will take us to a hurricane in Florence: triple threat of climate amplification
