Scientists warn future temperatures will test humans’ ability to survive

Unbearably hot temperatures are already testing the limits of human survival, and will continue to rise, challenging our bodies’ ability to cope and making parts of the world increasingly uninhabitable.

Scientists say urgent steps are needed for humans to adapt to extreme heat, including rethinking the way we live, work and blast the AC.

“Extreme heat is going to get more problematic going forward, period,” said Professor Blair Feltmate, head of the Intact Centre on Climate Adaptation at the University of Waterloo in Ontario.

Study finds cleaner air leads to more Atlantic hurricanes

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration study links changes in regionalized air pollution across the globe to storm activity going both up and down. A 50% decrease in pollution particles and droplets in Europe and the U.S. is linked to a 33% increase in Atlantic storm formation in the past couple decades, while the opposite is happening in the Pacific with more pollution and fewer typhoons, according to the study published in Wednesday’s Science Advances.

Hurricane Ida

Latest News: August 28, 2021 – IDA CLOSING IN ON LOUISIANA WITH WIDE-REACHING IMPACTS

Ida is forecasted to make landfall tomorrow evening as a Category 4, bringing wide-reaching impacts to portions of the Louisiana and Mississippi coastline, including metro New Orleans. Hurricane and Storm Surge Warnings are now in effect for most of the coastline of Louisiana and Mississippi. Here’s what we know and what you can expect depending on the region you are living in.

Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale

The Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale estimates potential property damage. While all hurricanes produce life-threatening winds, hurricanes rated Category 3 and higher are known as major hurricanes*. Major hurricanes can cause devastating to catastrophic wind damage and significant loss of life simply due to the strength of their winds. Hurricanes of all categories can produce deadly storm surge, rain-induced floods, and tornadoes. These hazards require people to take protective action, including evacuating from areas vulnerable to storm surge.
