<font face="Calibri">ATHENS, Aug 23 (Reuters) - Greek firefighters

<b>Central U.S. Swelters Under Heat Dome, Forcing Cancellations and
Precautions</b><br>
A summer of extreme weather continued as residents coped with
oppressive heat across a large stretch of the nation’s midsection.<br>
- -<br>
Across hundreds of miles, from Mississippi to Missouri to Minnesota,
cooling centers have opened, schools without air-conditioning have
dismissed early or closed outright, and residents have tried to
limit time outdoors.<br>
<br>
In Omaha, a 1-year-old girl died on Monday after she had been left
in a day care center’s van, according to the local police.
Temperatures in the area had reached 98 degrees that afternoon. The
driver of the van was arrested on Monday on charges of child abuse
by neglect resulting in death...<br>
- -<br>
“I’ve never seen humidity like this,” said Eric L. Harris, who lives
in Lincoln, Neb., where temperatures surpassed 100 degrees on
Tuesday and were expected to do so again on Wednesday and
Thursday...<br>
- -<br>
For many Midwestern states, the high temperatures this week have
brought added misery in a summer already made difficult by drought.
In a cruel meteorological turn, that drought has exacerbated the
heat...<br>
- -<br>
“The ground is already really dry — it doesn’t take much for the
heat to kind of just build up over there,” said Paul Pastelok, a
senior meteorologist at AccuWeather. “And that’s what makes it a
bigger heat dome that we’re seeing right now.”<br>
<br>
In the Minneapolis area, better known for its foreboding winter
conditions, forecasters said daily temperature records could fall on
both Tuesday and Wednesday, with readings of 99 or 100 degrees
possible.<br>
<br>
Tyler Hasenstein, a National Weather Service meteorologist in
Minnesota, said a heat dome of this scale might settle over the
state every five years or so, “but those typically happen in June,
July — and not August, which is kind of the weird thing in this
case.” The temperatures were also not expected to drop much after
sunset, he said.<br>
<br>
Meteorologists said high temperatures were forecast to reach up to
20 degrees above average throughout Iowa and neighboring states over
the next few days. The humidity will make it feel even more
oppressive, with heat indexes that could approach 120 degrees.
Forecasters have issued heat alerts, ranging from advisories to
excessive heat warnings, for roughly 100 million people across 22
states...<br>
- -<br>
“Every year the weather seems to get worse and worse,” she said.
“Between the flooding and the heat, and then we have the extreme
cold that we deal with in the winter, it seems it’s worse than it
used to be.”<br>
<br>
With more of the country expected to suffer from extreme heat in the
days ahead, contingency plans were already being put in place.<br>
<br>
Kevin Russell, the superintendent of Downers Grove Grade School
District 58 in suburban Chicago, said he started keeping an eye on
the forecast late last week. Most buildings in his district are not
fully air-conditioned, meaning the 100-degree temperatures that
forecasters have discussed are untenable...<br>
- -<br>
“We do have limited air-conditioned spaces, so what we’ll do on
those hotter days — in the high 80s or even the low 90s — we will
rotate students and staff through cooling stations,” Dr. Russell
said. “However, when you start talking about 100-plus, you really
need to be in that cooling station all the time.”<br>
<br>
The first day of class in Downers Grove had been set for Wednesday,
but Dr. Russell made the difficult choice to push that back to
Friday, when cooler weather is expected.<br>
<br>
“We have thousands of kids in Downers Grove with their backpacks all
ready to go and super excited to start the school year,” Dr. Russell
said. “Having to delay that, no one takes any joy in that.”<br>
<br>
But there is good news ahead. Plans are in place to install
air-conditioning at all of the district’s schools.<br>

‘flickers’ warn of devastation to come, expert tells state
regulators</b></font><br>
<font face="Calibri">By John Hilton</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri">Canadian wildfires polluted New York City air
for days. Maui wildfire deaths are well over 100 and rising.
Phoenix recorded 31 straight days of 110-degree temperatures,
smashing the 49-year-old record of 18.</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri">Climate emergencies are happening in places
they rarely ever happened before. And it's no coincidence, said
Peter Schlosser, vice president and vice provost of global futures
and director, Julie Ann Wrigley Global Futures Laboratory at
Arizona State University.</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri">"We do know from complex systems, and the
climate system is a complex system, that when it moves from one
state to another, it starts to flicker," Schlosser explained.
"What we are seeing in extremes are these flickers."</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri">Schlosser presented climate data, findings and
predictions last week during a Climate and Resiliency Task Force
at the National Association of Insurance Commissioners' summer
meeting in Seattle.</font><br>
<font face="Calibri">Climate change events are costing insurers
heavy losses in many states, leading some to pull out of specific
markets...</font><br>
<font face="Calibri">- -</font><br>
<font face="Calibri"><b>Mounting climate issues</b></font><br>
<font face="Calibri">Simply put, global warming is the long-term
heating of Earth's surface observed since the pre-industrial
period [the late 19th century] due to human activities, primarily
fossil fuel burning, which increases heat-trapping greenhouse gas
levels in Earth's atmosphere.</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri">At present, Earth is in the midst of a vicious
loop, in which ever-warming temperatures melts greater amounts of
ice, which causes temperatures to further rise. Not to mention
unleashing powerful storms, tidal waves, droughts and wildfires.</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri">There are times now, previously unheard of,
when the entire surface of Greenland is melting, Schlosser said.
If all of Greenland's ice melted, seas would rise 20 feet. If all
of Antarctica's ice melted, seas would rise 200 feet, a
catastrophic event that would wipe out many islands and populous
coastal land masses.</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri">Fortunately, it will take many decades for that
to happen, Schlosser said. Best projections point to a 3 to 10
feet sea level rise by the end of the century.</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri">"One thing that people don't often think about
is that 90% of the goods we are exchanging globally are coming
across the ocean," Schlosser explained. "By definition, all the
infrastructure of ports is at sea level. So, if you imagine 3 to
10 feet of sea level rise along the port infrastructure, that is
something that is really hard to imagine what that actually means
as far as adjusting to it."</font><br>

<font face="Calibri"><b>Ocean heat record broken and experts fear
temperatures could rise even further</b><br>
</font><font face="Calibri">Ocean temperature records are being
broken around the world with dire consequences for the health of
the planet.<br>
<br>
The average surface temperature of the world’s oceans has hit its
highest-ever level reaching 20.96C this week, according to the
Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S).<br>
<br>
It broke the record of 20.95C set in 2016 and scientists say it is
likely that the record will continue to be broken as temperatures
are usually highest in March, not August.<br>
<br>
It follows a pattern of marine heatwaves and record sea surface
temperatures around the world.</font><br>
<font face="Calibri">The Mediterranean Sea recorded its highest-ever
surface temperature last week at 28.71C. Waters around the Florida
Keys were similar to the temperature of a hot tub, hitting highs
of just over 38C and possibly breaking a world record.<br>
<br>
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) also
reported last Friday that the North Atlantic may be the hottest it
has ever been. And it's getting hotter much earlier in the year
with previous records set in September</font><br>
<font face="Calibri">The IPCC says that marine heatwaves doubled in
frequency between 1982 and 2016. Since the 1980s, they’ve also
become longer and more intense.<br>
<br>
Experts warn this could have devastating consequences for the
health of the planet.</font><br>
<font face="Calibri"><b>How hot are our oceans?</b><br>
The North Atlantic usually begins to warm up in March after winter
and reaches its peak in September. But records have continuously
been broken since April this year.<br>
<br>
And the NOAA says that the North Atlantic is only going to get
hotter “through the month of August”. It's highly likely that the
record will be broken again.<br>
<br>
Global average sea surface temperature has been “well above” the
values previously seen at this time of year, according to C3S. The
climate change service says that the high sea surface temperatures
contributed to the exceptionally warm July seen around the
world...</font><br>
<font face="Calibri">The high temperatures are likely being driven
in part by the El Niño weather phenomenon. This occurs when warm
water rises to the surface in the South Pacific and pushes up
global temperatures.<br>
<br>
So far the current El Niño is still weak which means ocean
temperatures are likely to rise even further as it develops.<br>
<br>
But these weather patterns are also being exacerbated by climate
change.<br>
<br>
“The more we burn fossil fuels, the more excess heat will be taken
out by the oceans, which means the longer it will take to
stabilise them and get them back to where they were,” Dr Samantha
Burgess from C3S told the BBC.</font><br>
<font face="Calibri"><b>What effect will the world’s warming oceans
have?</b><br>
Oceans play an important role in the regulation of the Earth’s
climate. They absorb heat, drive weather patterns and act as a
carbon sink.<br>
<br>
But as they get warmer they are less effective at doing this job.
The cycle means that as ocean temperatures rise, they become less
effective at absorbing CO2 leading to an increase in the amount of
this greenhouse gas in the atmosphere.<br>
<br>
Ice also melts as waters warm increasing the severity of sea level
rise. And high ocean temperatures can also increase the chance of
hurricanes, cyclones, storms and extreme weather.<br>
<br>
Hotter oceans also have an effect on marine life with whales and
some fish species moving to cooler waters which upsets the food
chain. The record-high temperatures also put corals at risk with
reefs off the coast of Florida now facing a severe threat of
bleaching due to the marine heatwave.<br>

it would be even hotter? ... Well, yes. ]</i><br>
<b>Volcanoes and wildfires offset 20% of global heating over eight
years</b><br>
Events that inject smoke and gas into high atmosphere help to cool
planet but are no solution to climate crisis, says study<br>
Kate Ravilious<br>
@katerav<br>
Wed 23 Aug 2023<br>
Explosive volcanic eruptions and wildfires have offset global
heating by around a fifth over the last eight years, a study shows.
In particular the eruption of Calbuco in southern Chile in 2015 and
the 2019-20 Australian wildfires injected vast amounts of smoke and
gas into the high atmosphere, which helped to cool the planet by
absorbing heat leaving the Earth and reflecting sunlight back to
space.<br>
<br>
Pengfei Yu from Jinan University in China and his colleagues used
data gathered by high altitude balloons over the Tibetan plateau and
the US to model the cooling impact of stratospheric volcanic
eruptions – those that inject ash into the high atmosphere – and
wildfires.<br>
<br>
Their results, which are published in Geophysical Research Letters,
show that these events have produced a greater than average amount
of cooling in recent years. This is partly because there were more
low-latitude events where smoke and gas is transported quickly
around the globe by high-level winds and remains suspended for
longer than events closer to the poles.<br>
<br>
The study also showed, however, that the rapid increase in
greenhouse-gas warming means that the cooling effect from wildfires
and volcanic eruptions is diminishing and cannot be relied on to
offset global heating in the coming decades.<br>

<b>Abstract</b><br>
<blockquote>Volcanic and wildfire events between 2014 and 2022
injected ∼3.2 Tg of sulfur dioxide and 0.8 Tg of smoke aerosols
into the stratosphere. With injections at higher altitudes and
lower latitudes, the simulated stratospheric lifetime of the
2014–2022 injections is about 50% longer than the volcanic
2005–2013 injections. The simulated global mean effective
radiative forcing (ERF) of 2014–2022 is −0.18 W m−2, ∼40% of the
ERF of the period of 1991–1999 with a large-magnitude volcanic
eruption (Pinatubo). Our climate model suggests that the
stratospheric smoke aerosols generate ∼60% more negative ERF than
volcanic sulfate per unit aerosol optical depth. Studies that fail
to account for the different radiative properties of wildfire
smoke relative to volcanic sulfate will likely underestimate the
negative stratospheric forcings. Our analysis suggests that
stratospheric injections offset 20% of the increase in global mean
surface temperature between 2014–2022 and 1999–2002.<br>
</blockquote>
<b>Key Points</b><br>
<blockquote>-- Long-term balloon-borne measurements of stratospheric
aerosol over Tibetan Plateau and U.S. are compared with an
aerosol-climate model<br>
<br>
-- Stratospheric smoke particles generate 60% more negative
effective radiative forcing than volcanic sulfate with the same
aerosol optical depth<br>
<br>
--Stratospheric aerosol abundance offsets 20% of the increase in
the global mean surface temperature between 2014–2022 and
1999–2002<br>
</blockquote>
<b>Plain Language Summary</b><br>
Between 2014 and 2022, volcanic and wildfire events injected about
∼3.2 Tg of sulfur dioxide and 0.8 Tg of smoke aerosols into the
stratosphere, about 30%–40% of injected mass of the 1991 Pinatubo
eruption. Because the sulfur dioxide and smoke aerosols are injected
at higher altitudes and lower latitudes, the simulated aerosol
lifetime is 50% longer than the volcanic injections between 2005 and
2013, which have been suggested to play a role in the global warming
hiatus. Our climate model suggests that smoke aerosol generates 60%
more negative effective radiative forcing compared with volcanic
sulfate aerosol per unit change in aerosol optical depth. Our study
underscores the distinct optical properties between the wildfire
smoke and sulfate aerosol. Our analysis finds that the trend of the
global mean surface temperature in the two decades would have been
24% larger without the stratospheric injections.<br>

<i>[ Why not let the City of the Elite define the islands of escape?
]</i><br>
<b>Finding Climate Havens</b><br>
As climate change unfolds, some places will fare better than others.<br>
By German Lopez<br>
Aug. 23, 2023,<br>
This year’s heat can seem relentless, and appears to be only the
beginning of a lifetime of hotter summers. It’s even hot in the
oceans. And then there are the wildfires, droughts and floods, which
have recently hit the seeming paradises of Hawaii and California.<br>
<br>
The weather extremes are enough to drive some people to pick up
their lives and look for more climate-friendly places to live. Jesse
Keenan, a climate adaptation expert at Tulane University living in
low-lying New Orleans, is among them. “Another Katrina is going to
happen,” he said, referring to the hurricane that struck the city in
2005. “I tell my students this: ‘Within your lifetime, Tulane will
no longer be a university. Your alma mater will relocate or
disappear because of where it is.’”<br>
<br>
Are there places that are better suited to deal with climate change?
Yes, experts say. The Midwest, inland Northeast and northern Great
Plains are three examples in the U.S., and parts of Canada, Russia
and Scandinavia could offer refuge internationally. These regions
are not immune to climate problems; it’s called “global” warming for
a reason. But they are expected to see less of the extreme weather
that a hotter planet will bring.<br>
<br>
Still, Americans are not moving to climate-friendly places today. If
anything, many more have moved away. One of the fastest-growing U.S.
cities is Phoenix, which has suffered temperatures above 110 degrees
Fahrenheit for much of this summer. That trend could start to change
as people endure more disasters.<br>
<b>Moving to safety</b><br>
How do you know whether a location is better suited for dealing with
climate change than the place you live now? Experts point to two
major factors.<br>
<br>
The first is geography. Consider the Midwest: It is inland, away
from the rising, hotter oceans and seas that will cause more floods
and more intense hurricanes. Midwestern states are farther north
than many others, with naturally lower temperatures. The Great Lakes
and surrounding rivers provide reliable sources of water, preventing
some of the worst effects of drought. These factors also apply to
much of the Northeast U.S. and the northern Great Plains.<br>
<br>
The second factor is the ability to take in newcomers, climate
refugees or not. Does the area have enough affordable housing? Are
residents welcoming to outsiders? Are local and state governments
preparing for population increases? If the answer to at least some
of these questions is yes, you may have found yourself a potential
destination.<br>
<br>
Some cities meet these standards. Detroit, Cincinnati and Buffalo,
N.Y., are common examples. They are in regions with more
climate-friendly geography. And they have one thing in common: Their
populations have shrunk by the hundreds of thousands since the
1950s, leaving them with both a desire to bring people back and many
empty buildings that could be turned into housing.<br>
<br>
Similarly, much of inland New England and the northern Great Plains
have climate-friendly geography and plenty of space for people to
move into. (Montana has been called the “anti-California” for its
recent efforts to build more housing.) As an added benefit, these
regions also offer stunning vistas and many forms of outdoor
recreation.<br>
<br>
<b>Better, not perfect</b><br>
Experts emphasize that no place is invulnerable to climate change.
Vermont is a potential climate haven because of its geography and
desire to attract more people. But last month, record floods hit the
state. Researchers linked them to climate change.<br>
<br>
That disaster highlights an important point: Better is not perfect.
Climate change has an impact everywhere, even if residents can take
steps to mitigate the damage.<br>
<br>
Many people also can’t, or won’t, leave their homes. Some,
particularly in the poorer Global South, simply can’t afford to move
to avoid potential disasters. And wealthier places are not always
ready for extreme weather. Hawaii’s fires this month offer an
example; a lack of preparedness and human errors, including possible
mistakes by the state’s biggest power utility, likely made the
situation worse.<br>
<br>
The bottom line: The planet will continue warming in the coming
decades, according to the most recent projections. Those rising
temperatures will bring more extreme weather and more disasters.
People will have to find ways to deal with those problems. In some
cases, doing so may be as straightforward as installing air
conditioning in more homes. But some might feel compelled to take
more extreme steps, including leaving those homes behind.<br>

climate change, but tempered by a foreboding aura of apocryphal doom
and resigned helplessness. <br>
