Small pockets of 90+ degree heat along the coast with triple figures inland are the story. \u201cCoastal\u201d, however, isn\u2019t too informative. One of the areas under an extreme heat warning is Burbank, which is a mere 20km or so from the sea.<\/p>\n<p>One look at this global temperature map would tell a not-very-bright house brick if not some much stupider people that there\u2019s a problem. The rest of the world took a massive hit from the heat in June. Tropical areas, deserts, and most of Africa were in record territory. Even western Greenland had unseasonal heat. This is still very early in the northern summer. If these heat patterns are any guide, the rest of summer, particularly midsummer, will be grim and a half.<\/p>\n<p>Western Europe, which has been an unlikely canary for heat waves recently, hasn\u2019t yet experienced a major heat rise. This area is in roughly the same latitude as Canada and western Russia, so midsummer will be the defining time for heat. India has already had \u201cunbearable\u201d temperatures in May this year. The country is struggling to cope with a mix of a huge population and inadequate facilities. Current predictions for the rest of summer aren\u2019t exactly stellar. One of the main problems with heat waves is the total lack of preparedness. Around the world, local authorities are doing what they can with what they have.<\/p>\n<p>You can\u2019t do much if someone insists for decades that there are no problems. Despite 30+ years of weather-related disasters, the idea that the weather is dangerous hasn\u2019t sunk in. When a selfless self-proclaimed genius fountain of truth and integrity like Trump says climate change is a \u201cmatter of opinion\u201d, you may need a second opinion. The rest of the world is evidently no smarter. It shows. In Australia, we had about a third of the country go up in smoke a few years ago. That had never happened before in 200+ years. Railway tracks have regularly physically buckled in the heat. Blackouts were infuriating and common enough. Nobody takes the weather for granted.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.digitaljournal.com\/world\/op-ed-climate-change-apparently-hasnt-noticed-that-it-doesnt-exist-june-2024-hit-5-billion-people-hard\/article\">Read more&gt;&gt;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.digitaljournal.com\/world\/op-ed-climate-change-apparently-hasnt-noticed-that-it-doesnt-exist-june-2024-hit-5-billion-people-hard\/article\">DJ<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/climate-change-apparently-hasnt-noticed-that-it-doesnt-exist-june-2024-hit-5-billion-people-hard\/\">Climate change apparently hasn\u2019t noticed that it doesn\u2019t exist \u2014 June 2024 hit 5 billion people hard<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[462,575],"class_list":["post-132224","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-climate-change","tag-environmental-news-en"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/132224","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=132224"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/132224\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=132224"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=132224"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=132224"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
