*Big Oil, Big Lies and Big Al...*
Just Have a Think
Sep 24, 2023
World leaders just gathered at the UN in New York to discuss the 
climate, ahead of the main COP 28 climate conference coming up in 
November 2023. The president of that event is also the CEO of one of the 
world's largest oil and gas producers. So how, in the name of all things 
holy, can we possibly expect to make any progress there? This video has 
a couple of suggestions.

The world has known about the threat posed by climate change for decades 
now. Why has it taken so long to act, and what are the major obstacles 
today? Former Vice President of the United States Al Gore sits down at 
The New York Times Climate Forward event to discuss what’s standing in 
the way of progress. This interview was with David Gelles of The New 
York Times.

*What the fossil fuel industry doesn't want you to know*
Al Gore
TED Countdown Summit
  July 2023
In a blistering talk, Nobel Laureate Al Gore looks at the two main 
obstacles to climate solutions and gives his view of how we might 
actually solve the environmental crisis in time. You won't want to miss 
his searing indictment of fossil fuel companies for walking back their 
climate commitments -- and his call for a global rethink of the roles of 
polluting industries in politics and finance.

*American football season is getting hotter. Young players are dying*
Maanvi Singh
Sun 24 Sep 2023
Nearly a dozen US football players have died of heat in recent years as 
teams reckon with training in a changing climate
At the end of a pre-season football practice in late July, Myzelle Law, 
a 19-year-old defensive lineman for MidAmerica Nazarene University in 
Kansas, returned to the locker room, and began showing signs of seizure. 
It was hot outside, but Law’s internal body temperature had reached 108F 
(42.2C), his family said. He died about a week later, of heat-related 
illness.

Last summer, the same thing happened to the 17-year-old lineman Phillip 
Laster Jr, a rising senior at Brandon high school in Mississippi. In 
2021, 16-year-old Drake Geiger, a player for Omaha South high school in 
Nebraska, died after collapsing on a practice field.
They aren’t the only ones. Between 2018 and 2022, at least 11 football 
players in the US – at the student and professional level – have died of 
heat stroke. And the number of young athletes diagnosed with exertional 
heat illness has been increasing over the past decade or so, as 
unprecedented, extreme heat butts up against football season.

This summer, the hottest on record in North America, teams across the US 
have been forced to reckon with a changing climate. High school and 
college teams in searing south-west states – where temperatures rarely 
dropped below 110F (43.3C) this summer – escaped to practise in the 
mountains, or by the coast. Teams took to practising at dawn, before 
temperatures became unsafe. Friday night games were held later in the 
evening, or pushed to the next morning...

Although very young athletes – at the elementary and middle school level 
– are physically most prone to heat illness, it’s the teens and young 
adults who are most at risk for exertional heat stroke, studies have 
found, simply because they push past their bodies’ warning signs.

“With these young adults, all they want to do is make the varsity team, 
to come off the bench, to get recruited by the best college teams,” said 
Murfree. “They want to make their coaches and parents proud. And all 
that can be counterproductive if the body is being overworked.”

There’s an idea that young athletes are superhuman, or act like they 
are, McNair said. “Jordan was 6ft5, he was 300lbs. He wore a size 16 
shoe – but he was still 19 years old,” he said. “These are still kids.”

*Climate change is coming for America’s property market*
Insurance is supposed to signal risk. Policymakers should let it
Sep 21st 2023

For decades Americans have been moving to beautiful places that are 
vulnerable to extreme weather. Florida, once a swampy frontier, is now 
America’s third-most populous state. It is also the state most often hit 
by hurricanes. By 2015, the Atlantic and Gulf coasts boasted more than 
$13trn of real estate. Look West and the story is similar. Homes are 
proliferating in the wildland-urban interface, where nature and 
development anxiously coexist and wildfire season seems never to end.

It is climate change that makes extreme weather more common. But the 
financial cost of storms and fires depends, more than anything else, on 
how many homes people choose to build in risky places. After adjusting 
for inflation, there have been more billion-dollar disasters so far in 
2023 than any year since America’s National Oceanic and Atmospheric 
Administration began keeping records. Losses as a proportion of gdp have 
kept stable over the past four decades. But there are big local 
exceptions: last year hurricane damage cost Florida between 7.5% and 10% 
of the state’s gdp....
