If you thought this summer's heat waves were bad, a new study has some disturbing news

"As global temperatures rise, people in the tropics, including places like India and Africa’s Sahel region, will likely face dangerously hot conditions almost daily by the end of the century – even as the world reduces its greenhouse gas emissions, a new study shows."

"By 2050" is only a generation away and, given that the rate of heating seems to be accelerating, may be wildly optimistic. And, not pointed out, while the number of 'heat days' will increase, so they will also be HOTTER. Today's children will be TRYING to raise THEIR children under those conditions. And all of those people who can no longer tolerate living in the equatorial and lower latitudes will be looking to move north and south and there is a lot more 'north' than 'south' to move to and borders will see many MILLIONS of heat refugees. And, no longer able to grow adequate crops, FAMINE may be expected also so many MILLIONS of HUNGRY heat refugees. They will not be patient. If alternative sources of non-atmospheric heating electricity are not completely ubiquitous, 'cooling' will only make the atmosphere even hotter. And ALL of this can be laid at the doorstep of Blind Human Greed of those who refuse to lower their TAKE by even a tiny percentage but find all manner of ways to sidestep even the weak efforts being pushed today. PROFIT! And THEN, there are the clathrates... if that happens, good bye Mankind and... NEXT? I wonder what THEIR archaeologists will make of us from our fossilized bones...

The temperature has dropped and next week will be pleasantly cooler. 26C here.

Thanks, Rex.

We are doomed. Don't be cruel to new children by having them.

There’s going to be a huge backlash at some point against fossil fuel companies, their employees and their families: Mobs, riots and lynchings.

Simple human nature in the face of unpleasant reality.

Want to cool down in the heat?

Atwo minute cold shower works wonders!

I often read this is a bad idea. From the link below, "a cold shower may help to conserve body heat by causing blood vessels in the skin to constrict".

Generally, a warm shower is recommended.

Another in a countless number of easily debunked trash articles about the world about to end and the peanut gallery howls for blood.

This one encourages assassination not just of those who work for an energy company, but their families as well.

Disgusting call to violence, but since this is JT its par for the course.

We got lucky this year in Japan (lucky?) that the rainy season was off... Most of the most humid heat was through July and early August. At least right now it's bearable heat and it looks like it will remain that way for a while.

Every sports day my daughter has ever had (except this year) has been in early October and in the low 30's. Today didn't even break 30 which is amazing for August.

Of course now that I've said that I'm sure I've doomed next year to be 35+ again until the end of September.

Thank you and no intended criticism but an observation that this is a perfect encapsulation of the majority of Mankind's awareness and comprehension of the 'future'. Next week...
