Climate optimist: "It will be all okay! Magical billionaires will come up with a technological solution with AI and save us from climate change, all while getting rich off cryptocurrency! Their magical unicorn poop will save the world!"

Climate doomer: "ALL IS LOST! We're all gonna die! I'm giving away all my possessions and moving to a small shack in the wilderness and mourning until the end."

Climate realist: "It's not looking good out there, and it's getting worse, and it's going to get a lot, lot worse for sure. Mitigate, focus on disaster preparedness, help your neighbors, help your community, and be prepared to help people when you can. Good luck, everyone, we're going to need it"

If I lived in Texas or Florida, I would be looking through this guide on "creating a cool room for extreme heat events" from the DOE's Office of Energy Efficiency & Renewable Energy. This would have been useful as disaster prep for Houston this last week. https://basc.pnnl.gov/resource-guides/creating-cool-room-extreme-heat-events#edit-group-description #DisasterPreparedness #disasters #weather #wx #heatwaves

It appears the US distillation of the highlights of the core of Scandinavia is: Abba, Aebleskivers, Marvel's Thor, Swedish meatballs, Legos, and croquet through little carved wood horsies named Dala (Note: my impressions have no basis on actual culture) #Abba

Southern Florida once again has "EXTREME" Heat Risk today 5/18/24.

Extreme - This level of rare and/or long-duration extreme heat with little to no overnight relief affects anyone without effective cooling and/or adequate hydration. Impacts likely in most health systems, heat-sensitive industries and infrastructure.
