WSJ: The World Bakes Under Extreme Heat

Besides the Temp/weather itself, the effects are already costly.
Worldwide Rotisserie likely to show up as Record July... TOO.

The World Bakes Under Extreme Heat​

Warming oceans and heat domes are contributing to one of the hottest summers on record​

""Roads, bridges and train tracks built to the design standards of the 20th century are buckling from extreme heat gripping the globe. Power grids, buildings and cooling systems are under strain.

Design standards have failed to keep up with a warming climate, say engineering and construction experts who are pushing their clients to invest in solutions to make existing buildings cooler while factoring in the cost of future heat waves.
“The U.S. isn’t prepared for what we’ve had so far, let alone more of it,” said Adam Jaffe, senior materials engineer at Arup, a global design and architecture firm, about extreme heat.

Throughout July, Record-setting temperatures have Broiled the southern half of the U.S., southern Europe, central China and eastern Asia. The heat has caused scattered power outages in several countries and buckled roads in Utah, Louisiana and Wisconsin, according to local news reports. In Texas, a section of Interstate 10 in Houston and a six-lane state highway south of the city ruptured during 100-plus-degree heat in late June.

This will save MANY lives. 6-8 times as many people die each year from cold globally, than those who die from heat.

Yeah.
It's called weather, just like you idiots point out when we have record freezing temperatures.
Your addiction to Fear Porn has been noted.

Sorry, but that big bright ball of fusion in the sky determines everything. You live or die at it's pleasure.

Why do you you think it was worshiped as a God for eons? Even savages realized it controls life.

Earth's magnetic field, which is generated by the movement of molten iron its core, is what has protected us from Helios for millions of years. It won't protect us from the greenhouse effect.

 

[Woodznutz]

Regardless of similar heat waves in the past the effects are much worse on humanity and the environment now.

Your scientific illiteracy was long ago confirmed.

Tell us more about the Static Earth that must never alter for the benefit of short sighted humans.
Tell us of that perfect climate we are supposed to lock the planet into. Because all your arguments are that we are not to allow any deviations whatsoever regardless of the fact that the planets climate has always changed.
My entire landscape in the north was carved to the granite leaving countless lakes and eventually forests that we now take for granted as a mile of ice melted and receded north. My house sits where that mile of ice once stood. The sand in my area contains sea fossils from millions of years ago when a shallow ocean was here.

Those events were possible because of major climate and tectonic changes in a cyclical process since the planet was formed.

The planet isn't turning into Dune for fucks sake.
You folks need to lay off the propaganda for a while and shut off those energy consuming devices made from toxic materials.

 

[Woodznutz]

God told us to bring the earth under our control, so there's that.

I dunno about that.

Eventually as species if we want to survive, we need to get out of this solar system.
We don't have to be necessarily finite, but the Sun is.


Long term goal of course...

Why buy new when you can repair the old. All that is needed is to marshal our resources better.

"Christians" are the worst stewards of the earth their God supposedly created.

How did you arrive at that?

Why do you think? What group in the U.S. makes up the largest number of climate change skeptics?

 

[petro]

How do we repair the Sun when it runs out of hydrogen.
There is a future point where all life will cease to exist on Earth.

Yes, manage our resources better to develop technologies to eventually seed other systems. If God developed us, he also developed that ability within us to do exactly that. We are born with curiosity and designed to explore.

Otherwise it's limit human population through extreme governmental measures and returning to a more agrarian culture and shedding our industrial dependent lifestyle of consumption and addiction to useless technology.
Don't think people are gonna accept a limited life after getting a taste of comfort.

Dunno what "the movement of molten iron" has to do with simply maintaining the Earth's magnetic field, but AGW denial is certainly thick as thieves at this crowd's core.
