Ma Nature vs. The Least Educated

"An expanding, intensifying heat wave prompted the National Weather Service to issue heat alerts for more than 112 million people on Thursday morning, with no letup in sight for some areas.

Why it matters: The
heat will topple longstanding records, especially in the Southwest, and the duration of this event that's set to continue well into next week increases public health dangers.

The big picture: This
heat wave is already notable for its scope, intensity and endurance."

"The heat will be so intense that forecasters suggested residents of Las Vegas avoid the outdoors between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m., with the city forecast to challenge its all-time high temperature of 117 degrees on Sunday. It won’t get much cooler at night, with low temperatures nearing 90 degrees – a particularly dangerous side-effect of the climate crisis.

Even the hottest place on Earth, California’s Death Valley, could reach rare highs, with
130 degrees possible Sunday, forecasters at the National Weather Service told CNN. That’s only happened a handful of times, one of which is the all-time global record high temperature of 134 degrees.

This kind of
extreme heat is one of the hallmarks of human-caused climate change, the symptoms of which are tallying up this year into a global record box score of sorts: “unprecedented” ocean heat off the coast of Florida and in the North Atlantic; record heat in Beijing, in what could be one of the hottest summers in China; record energy demand and heat in Texas; and an ongoing “Cerberus” heat wave that threatens to topple European temperature records."

“What we see a couple of times a day, unfortunately, is somebody who is comatose, with high temperatures,” Dr. LoVecchio said. “Usually, the thermometer only reads about 107, so it’s not uncommon to see 2 to 3 people with 107 temperatures. Your body does not like those temperatures.”

"Under a blue sky, in a former cornfield on the outskirts of San Antonio, a group of local and state officials once gathered to inaugurate the state’s first large-scale solar farm. “I can promise you it won’t be the last,” Senator John Cornyn declared. It was an epic understatement.

That installation, the Blue Wing Solar Project, can generate about 14 megawatts.
Thirteen years later, there are about 12,600 megawatts worth of solar farms available on the states main power grid. That’s enough to keep the air conditioning cooling more than 2.5 million Texan homes. The amount of available solar energy has nearly tripled in the past three years, and there are thousands more megawatts worth of solar projects in various stages of development.

On Wednesday, in the critical afternoon hours, as temperatures in all of the major metros neared or reached triple digits,
solar generated about 12 percent of the state’s power needs. This was about the same as coal, though well behind wind (25 percent) and natural gas (43 percent.) Texas is and remains a state dependent on fossil fuels, but, more and more, the lone star in our solar system is energizing the Lone Star State."

"We Are DAMNED FOOLS"

"The world is shifting towards a superheated climate not seen in the past 1 million years, prior to human existence, because “we are damned fools” for not acting upon warnings over the climate crisis, according to James Hansen, the US scientist who alerted the world to the greenhouse effect in the 1980s.

Hansen, whose testimony to the US Senate in 1988 is cited as the first high-profile revelation of global heating, warned in a statement with two other scientists that the world was moving towards a “new climate frontier” with temperatures higher than at any point over the past million years, bringing impacts such as
stronger storms, heatwaves and droughts."
