Climate Change & Heat Waves

When US and EU are playing games and not committed to climate change commitments, the damage is done and could be irreversible. China on the other hand is ahead of the climate change commitment with renewables.

Most of California is experiencing extreme temperatures well above 100 degrees Fahrenheit. The cities of Santa Rosa, Napa, Redwood City, and San Jose each broke all-time temperature records yesterday, some going back more than a century. Livermore posted the highest temperature ever recorded in the Bay Area at 116 degrees F. California’s electricity grid also delivered a record 52,061 megawatts of electricity, narrowly avoiding rolling blackouts. Roughly 433 Californians die from extreme heat each year, more than all other weather-related factors combined.
