As we continue to heat the likelihood of being exposed to heatwaves increases.
Being prepared for this eventuality can save lives.
This latest important research highlights that many places are unprepared.
“Using extreme value statistics, here we show where regional temperature records are statistically likely to be exceeded, and therefore communities might be more at-risk.”
Being unprepared is unacceptable really as we have had ample warning
- CO2 concentrations April 30, 2023 — 424.49 ppm
