You can't make this stuff up: "A #Republican-controlled House committee passed legislation earlier this week that would prevent the US Labor Department from enacting federal standards to protect workers from extreme #heat, a move that came amid sweltering heat across the country."https://www.commondreams.org/news/republicans-worker-heat-protections

Amid Deadly Temperatures, GOP Advances Bill to Ban Federal Heat Protections for Workers | Common Dreams

"Congress should not respond to an escalating occupational hazard by permanently removing the Department of Labor’s authority to address it."

When extreme heat threatens Europe's nuclear power

Warm rivers and low water levels are forcing nuclear power plants to reduce output across Europe. Over a year, the losses are minimal, but on critical days the loss of power has consequences for grids and prices.

Heatwave season has quietly grown by 39 days, arriving sooner and lasting longer

The heatwave season has stretched by about 39 days since 1979, with the biggest shifts in dry regions and a recent rise in fast-peaking heat.

Fossil fuels already burned will keep heating Earth long after we’re gone

Past emissions from the biggest oil, gas, coal, and cement producers will still be warming Earth in 2500, in every future scenario tested.

Ocean heatwaves are hiding months of extra warming

Marine heatwaves may be only the most intense part of much longer warming events, with elevated temperatures sometimes lingering for months. Researchers found that conventional measurements underestimate total heat exposure by more than 150% on average, potentially overlooking a major source of stress on marine ecosystems.

New global maps chart 40 years of ocean heat and acidification extremes

Between 2014 and 2015, a marine heatwave known as “The Blob” warmed an area of the Pacific Ocean larger than the United States and Mexico combined. The massive event fueled toxic algae blooms, collapsed fisheries, killed off millions of emaciated seabirds, sent dead fin whales (Balaenoptera physalus) and sea otters washing up on Alaska and […]

🚨 OCEAN HEAT: Last year, our seas absorbed heat equal to almost 40 TIMES all energy humanity used. With 84% of global coral reefs struck by bleaching-level heat stress, fossil fuel corporations and industrial meat and dairy are cooking our living ocean for profit. Protect our oceans NOW. #oceans #marinelife #heat #extremeheat #climatechange #climatecrisis #climate #protecttheoceans

Global coral reefs get less time to recover as oceans heat up, report finds

The world’s coral reefs are losing both hard coral cover and, just as critically, the time they need to recover between increasingly frequent marine heat waves, according to the most comprehensive global reef assessment yet. Released Aug. 31 by the Global Coral Reef Monitoring Network (GCRMN), the “Status of Coral Reefs of the World: 2025” […]
