Event 1: Pacific Northwest Heat Wave

top retweets:

Last week I was in a thread where someone wondered about heat, human survivability/habitability, and climate change. I've done some technical work on this specific question, so, quick thread on basics, and what to worry about.

Key term to know: The "wet bulb" temperature.

THE COST OF NOT TAKING ACTION ON CLIMATE IS ALMOST UNIMAGINABLY HIGH. https://t.co/VGCDtMI7GL

ITS NOT CLIMATE CHANGE ITS A REGIONALLY CURATED SUBSCRIPTION BOX OF ARTISINAL APOCALYPSES

I spoke to a cherry picker who is working thru 'heat dome' in Yakima Valley, Washington. She's hasn't had a break in 28 days.

There are 70+ y.o.s and children in fields & workers are suffering heat illnesses. No law requiring breaks or shade in the PNW. https://t.co/EeEijyKm6S

For those who say the budget framework I proposed costs "too much" what would you cut?

Combatting climate change?

Childcare?

Universal Pre-K?

Paid family & medical leave?

Dental, hearing & vision?

Housing?

Long-term home health care?

Child Tax Credit?

Waiting...

We have no time to waste when it comes to making our infrastructure more resilient to a changing climate. The Bipartisan Infrastructure Framework invests $52 billion to strengthen our natural infrastructure — like coastlines and levees — and our physical infrastructure.
— President Biden (@POTUS) June 29, 2021

The heat plaguing our country is deadly serious. Record-breaking temperatures are causing heatstroke and power outages, melting cables, and buckling roadways. And worse is still to come.

The climate crisis is here, and we see the consequences.

We need a Green New Deal. Now.

Climate change should be a part of every legislation that goes through Congress from now on.

There is no bigger issue, especially if you live in one of those areas that's currently on fire.

We’re way past the point of talking about what’s “reasonable.” Power lines are melting in the heat in Portland. Billionaires are paying no taxes and going to space. Buildings and bridges are collapsing. The only reasonable thing to do is change everything.
