A portion of the first paragraph of this analysis reads: "an increase in earthquakes and volcanic activity." As we melt glaciers, drain aquifers and oil wells and as thermal expansion raises sea levels, we alter the pressure on tectonic plates, the resulting movement is described in the literature as "Isostatic rebound."
The projections to 2100 are worse than useless, they are deceiving. Using models that were created based on linear changes in a time of non-linearity is a recipe for failure, that failure is now literally 'baked in'.
The recent heatwave that rocked Europe exposed how unprepared the medical system was for people with underlying health issues who succumbed to hitting their Wet Bulb Limits. High overnight temperatures don't allow for the body to recover from the days heat stress, it's not just your muscles that at are fatigued, your organs are stressed. This also applies to all the other animals and flora. No one wants to admit we failed so miserably.
"Global warming is systematically intensifying these temperature swings in the world’s most populous regions, posing challenges to public health and ecosystem stability. We recommend that relevant international scientific organizations formally recognize it as a new type of extreme weather event.”
The authors believe we are witnessing "A new type of extreme weather event", fancy that.
I've added this to my recent article titled: "Accelerating Non-Linearity in the Climate System, the New Abnormal."
Clearly where in a new paradigm of unchartered waters and our only ships accelerator is jammed on full bore, it's going to get bumpier and bumpier as this unregulated and entirely unique experiment runs its course.
"To have this kind of excess at this time of year is unusual. It's really high," Lasse Vestergaard, chief physician at Denmark's Statens Serum Institut, which hosts EuroMOMO, told Reuters."
"It is difficult to explain this high excess mortality by anything but the extreme heat," Vestergaard added."
I suspect this is a fundamental human trait. It may well contribute to hastening our extinction. We were proceeding rapidly enough already. Adding more negative factors only worsens our odds.

“The time of consequences is upon us.”
Unfortunately, you are correct. It's time to pay the proverbial piper.
"To have this kind of excess at this time of year is unusual. It's really high," Lasse Vestergaard, chief physician at Denmark's Statens Serum Institut, which hosts EuroMOMO, told Reuters."

Which is why we moved north from the 45th to the 48th parallel, but I know I can't "out move" climate change. Thanks for the article, Guy.
Mez, you could always organize for John Clark to "Tow You Out of The Environment". That's the only option I know that will work ;-)

This is a hilarious skit!
Thank YOU, Mez. You're right: there is no escape from climate change.
