AP analysis: Exposure to extreme heat has tripled since 1983
The Associated Press ^ | November 11, 2021 | By DREW COSTLEY and NICKY FORSTER

World leaders have committed to limiting Earth’s rising temperature to 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7 degrees Fahrenheit) above pre-industrial times.

But what does that feel like?

It’s difficult to convey, because you may not notice changes in average temperature. But, depending on where you live, you might notice when it’s extremely hot.

To better understand the issue, Columbia University’s climate school recently published a global dataset with estimates of both population and temperature.

Increasingly, climate scientists and meteorologists are advocating for the use of a different metric for understanding extreme heat. It’s called wet-bulb globe temperature and it takes into account temperature, humidity, wind speed, sun angle and cloud cover.

The new dataset uses estimates of both population and wet-bulb globe temperature to better understand how many people are affected by dangerously hot temperatures and where they live.

I have been running my A/C about the same, some years a little more, some years a little less, for twenty years.

This is blatant Agitation and Propaganda for the seriously stupid.

And their computing average temperature for the last 1000 years by tree rings.

Which are as accurate as a micrometer, apparently, in showing average yearly temperature.

It’s an estimate. Part of the increase is that the population in the hotter zones has increased over the past 40 years. More people, more exposure to ‘extreme heat.’

Watch Tony Heller’s youtube channel over the next few days.

He’ll probably produce a video debunking each and every claim made in this story, complete with documentation.

As urban areas expand, so do the heat islands.

wet-bulb model?

from hockey sticks to uhhh.. wet-bulb theory.

Our climatic condition is worsening alright.

minds are literally melting in climate scientists doing research and offering opinion as fact... maybe.

lolol

All the press has to do is call any day ‘extreme’ and presto we have globull warming. Follow the science

Absolute bulls***! There is no way of even calculating a global average temperature, and even if you could, it would be meaningless.

Not to mention that the Earth has turned inside out and exploded three times since global warming started.

They can’t get the accepted data points to support their assertions, so they make up new amorphously defined data points. Whenever a propagandist uses terms denoting percentage of increase, beware. Give the people straight numbers that they can analyze themselves.
