Extreme heat no longer confined to summer, extending health risks, study finds

There was a time when, across large swathes of the world, the seasons fed into each other in a relatively predictable cycle of warmer and colder weather. In temperate nations, frigid winter thawed into spring. Spring bloomed into summer, where extreme heat beat down until cooler weather provided autumn’s relief. No longer. A recent study […]

Summer 2026 heat toll exceeded 50,000 deaths in European cities, analysis estimates

More than 50,000 heat-related deaths are estimated to have occurred in urban areas across Europe during summer 2026, with around two-thirds attributed to human-induced climate change, according to new research led by the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine (LSHTM) and Imperial College London.

At least €16 BILLION: the estimated cost of France’s 2026 heatwaves and wildfires, according to a parliamentary report. People are hurting. They need real funding to stay safe: cooler homes and schools, early-warning systems, firefighters and healthcare workers. TAX obscene oil and gas profits. Make polluters pay. #makepolluterspay #heatwave #heat #publichealth #health #climatechange #climatecrisis #climate #schools #france #taxoilprofits #livesbeforeprofits #climateadaptation

Heatwave tip for anyone that does not have window blinds already: get a foil rescue blanket, cut to size and stick it to the outside of the window. Silver side facing the sun, gold side facing in. The mylar reflects the sunlight but is thin enough to let in some light☀️ DO NOT stick the foil on the inside! Having the foil on the inside can create a temperature gradient in the glass which may lead to cracking. It's more efficient on the outside any way! #heatwave

David Suzuki Foundation: "Carney’s taxpayer-funded pipeline will cause climate and economic chaos" "People in Canada are paying the price — struggling with affordability and suffering through extreme heat — as this government treats yesterday’s fossil economy as the only economic strategy on the table. The rest of the world is racing to benefit from the clean-energy economy by swapping dirty fossil fuels for renewables, batteries and technologies powered by electricity." https://davidsuzuki.org/press/carneys-taxpayer-funded-pipeline-will-cause-climate-and-economic-chaos/ #Canada #CDNPoli #ClimateCrisis #CostOfLivingCrisis #ExtremeWeather #Heatwave #BCPoli #ABPoli #NoPipelines

Ocean heatwaves are hiding months of extra warming

Marine heatwaves may be only the most intense part of much longer warming events, with elevated temperatures sometimes lingering for months. Researchers found that conventional measurements underestimate total heat exposure by more than 150% on average, potentially overlooking a major source of stress on marine ecosystems.
