Last week, my newsletter focused on the risks of extreme heat around the world, and how to stay safe: but I could write about this every week. The US National Weather Service just introduced a new Heat Risk<\/a> forecast map<\/strong> showing where people will face dangerous levels of heat. The entire southern US, from California<\/a> to Florida<\/a>, is baking in yet another early-season heatwave<\/strong>, with Phoenix, AZ setting a new daily high of 112F (44C) last Thursday.
I also mentioned last week how heat disproportionately affects elderly people<\/strong>\u2014and this new article<\/a> goes into depth on exactly why that is.” more @ talkingclimatenewsletter@outlook.com<\/p>\n
It is a blessing to work with all of you on this Environmental Justice initiative to save our Home Planet.<\/p>\n
