💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: A team of scientists engineered an electrospun purple #fabric that reflects about 88% of sunlight and stays cooler than white #cotton in outdoor tests.

In direct #sun, it ran up to 6º C (11º F) cooler than dyed purple cotton, and on simulated skin it beat uncovered skin by nearly 8º C. The lightweight #textile also kept its cooling effect after 50 wash cycles and showed strong durability under #UV exposure.

New purple fabric cools skin by 14°F and keeps working after 50 washes

The new purple fabric stays up to 11.2 degrees Fahrenheit cooler than conventional purple cotton while reflecting 87.6 percent of sunlight.

The climate-fueled massive heatwaves, drought, and wildfires (understandably) lead to more attention for climate adaptation.
The fact that we can never win the adaptation race if we don't reduce global emissions to zero is overlooked, and so is the resulting need to accelerate emission reduction.

Marine heat waves pose hidden threat to human health, researchers warn

The devastating impacts of marine heat waves extend far beyond dying coral reefs and declining fisheries, with new research warning that these extreme ocean-warming events pose a growing threat to human physical and mental health.

This is so unbearably cynical! It is HOT 24/7! Are we supposed to work and sleep in museums, too???
Why don’t you deal with the CAUSES of this #heat ? #Scientists like @rahmstorf or @VQuaschning have been warning of #climatechange since the 1980s. We DO have the knowledge and the tools to deal with it. Instead of using them, you’re dealing with the SYMPTOMS instead of addressing the PROBLEM.

7. #Funfact: the more #heat, the more power demand, the more likely it is that power systems fail:

Europe’s energy system has come under intense pressure with power plants forced to reduce output & wholesale electricity prices soaring as the continent battles an unprecedented June heatwave.

Britain’s rails feeling the heat on two fronts - VibeWire Magazine

Britain has been breaking records this week. Temperature records, certainly. Political records too, with the extraordinary events that have propelled Andy Burnham from Manchester’s town…

Black should be reserved for Exxon Heat, that killed 600 in Canada and 1500 in Mecca.

India has thousands of unreported deaths, kept secret by Trumpist Modi government, if you have access to Indian, or any country's Exxon Heat Deaths please reply.
