So at what record temperatures do we start giving outdoor workers hazard pay?
Texas is already taking away their water breaks. So probably no time soon.
That’s what I’m saying. I’m already borderline heat stroke by the time I’m almost done with yard work. And that’s only about an hour and a half outside.
I have a lot of health issues and get really fucked up in heat and humidity. Not to mention the smoke from Canada killing my lungs.
I’ve had to pay a guy to mow and weedwack my yard this year because I can’t physically do it myself. Last time I tried weedwacking, I got 5 mins in and almost passed out.
As we suffer over the next three years, it would pay to remember that this is the warmup round. It’s not over when the nex La Nina offers a brief reprieve.
Perhaps it’s time to prioritise survival over the profits of the shareholders?

Thanks for that regulation that killed sulfur emissions from ships and made our problems worse guys.
Made our problems visible now.
They were already this bad, SO2 just masks them for a couple of years.
Made our problems worse by creating a massive spike in temperature that should have been slowly eased at worst, and risks catastrophic results as that spike takes it’s toll.
