Death from heat

vendredi 28 mai 2021 à 02:00

Global heating, in Miami, means that death from heat will continue to increase.

Global heating has increased the range of summer temperatures in Tokyo. Sometimes it gets so hot that vigorous exercise becomes hazardous to health.

*Investing 0.1% of global GDP could avoid breakdown of ecosystems, says UN report.*

But the work that is done would become insufficient as the climate crisis gets worse.

It is absurd to think we can afford to cope with the consequences of global heating each decade, as each decade will bring new changes bigger than the old ones. The costs will rise until they become more than we can cover.

The only solution we can afford is to stop global heating. It will be a big expense, but we only have to do it once.
