Yes. As regards heat waves, the good news is that more six-hour periods of wet bulb temperatures that are unsurvivable by healthy adults and cannot be adapted to are expected to occur firstly in muslim and other parts of the globe before they occur in the US and then are expected to occur in Arizona, Nevada and parts of California before they start occurring elsewhere in the US. This in important because California votes blue and Nevada and Arizona are swing states. Unfortunately, the elderly who primarily vote Republican are likely to be among the first affected in these states.
Lethal Heat Is Spreading across the Planet
Since 1970 more than 350 weather stations have experienced at least one six-hour period of a potentially deadly combination of heat and humidity. Scientists expect these episodes will increase as temperatures rise
A 35 C wet bulb assumes 100 percent humidity, but the same lethal combination could be met with higher air temperatures and lower humidity levels.
... Just a few hours of these conditions are unsurvivable even for the most well-adapted humans, the study found ...
Nothing legitimate comes from SA anymore. The planet experiences periods of high temperatures and high humidity all the time, especially in equatorial areas, and has for million of years. Manipulating data and making up new pseudoscience terms such as тАЬwet bulbтАЭ is not proof of anything.
"The wet-bulb temperature (WBT) is a temperature that can be measured by a thermometer covered in cloth which has been soaked in water at ambient temperature (a wet-bulb thermometer) and over which air is passed. At 100% relative humidity, the wet-bulb temperature is equal to the air temperature (dry-bulb temperature); at lower humidity the wet-bulb temperature is lower than dry-bulb temperature because of evaporative cooling.
A sling psychrometer. The sock is wet with distilled water and whirled around for a minute or more before taking the readings.
The wet-bulb temperature is defined as the temperature of a parcel of air cooled to saturation (100% relative humidity) by the evaporation of water into it, with the latent heat supplied by the parcel.[2] A wet-bulb thermometer indicates a temperature close to the true (thermodynamic) wet-bulb temperature. The wet-bulb temperature is the lowest temperature that can be reached under current ambient conditions by the evaporation of water only.
Even heat-adapted people cannot carry out normal outdoor activities past a wet-bulb temperature of 32 ┬░C (90 ┬░F), equivalent to a heat index of 55 ┬░C (131 ┬░F). A reading of 35 ┬░C (95 ┬░F) тАУ equivalent to a heat index of 71 ┬░C (160 ┬░F) тАУ is considered the theoretical human survivability limit for up to six hours of exposure."
Thanks for that Philip. A heap of muslims dropped dead this year during Mecca and it wasn't even particularly humid. One of the great tragedies of science is the slaying of a beautiful hypothesis by the discovery of the odd ugly fact. Are there any combinations of temperature and humidity that humans cannot survive for longer than six hours? If so, what are they and, if "wet bulb" is not a useful way to measure temperature and humidity combinations, how should they be measured?
Well, if "climate change mitigation efforts" actually lead to increases in periods of unsurvivable "wet bulb" temperatures, rather than produce decreases or have no effect, the mRNA covid vax will be the least of anyone's concerns.
God bless President Trump and may he pardon the J6 innocent inmates and prosecute the instigators who ran free
yes, we need him to take action as he states it
