Promoting Science and Critical Thinking
Back in June last year, I was answering this question, “How Hot is too Hot for you to survive?“. The answer then was that the upper limit for human survivability was 35 C. That sounds weirdly low. Stick with me, we will come to that shortly. Where I’m going with this is that there has … Read more
There is a limit to the amount of heat humans can tolerate. Beyond that hot limit we die. Climate change means we are reaching that limit.
There is a limit to the amount of heat humans can tolerate. Beyond that limit we die. Climate change means we are reaching that limit in some regions.
The heat within areas on earth that are home to one-third of humans will become as hot as the hottest parts of the Sahara within 50 years
NOAA Climate.Goc has published details of the record breaking temperatures currently being measured in Alaska under the title “High temperatures smash all-time records in Alaska in early July 2019“. What they are reporting is not simply a few degrees above average, but 20 to 30 degrees higher than normal in some locations … On July … Read more
The increase of greenhouse gases since the industrial revolution has in turn led to an increase in heat within both the atmosphere and also the oceans. Understanding the ocean impact is rather important because that is where about 90% of the increase in heat has gone. We do have accurate historical atmospheric temperature measurements, but … Read more
