Reminder

"Tropical regions, comprised of vulnerable countries that typically contributed least to anthropogenic climate change, continue to see the strongest increase in extremes."

"Emissions linked to Chevron [...] very likely caused between US $791 billion and $3.6 trillion in heat-related losses over the period 1991–2020, disproportionately harming tropical regions least culpable for warming."

I had naive questions. E.g. why haven't over 1400 cool islands in Paris reduced the excess mortality during the last heat wave? Why choose Sassari instead of Cagliari?

And just found the answers to smarter ones 🔽

About 1500 of the approx. 2300 people that will have lost their lives across 12 European cities last week would still live, if it wasn't for our burning of oil, coal and gas. If we care about the right to life, we need to stop burning fossil fuels. www.imperial.ac.uk/grantham/pub...

Estimated excess mortality in the different regions - bad news again, also for those of us who live in northern Italy.

How "each of the 180 carbon majors (fossil fuel and cement producers)" contributed to make "213 historical heatwaves" in 2000–2023 "more likely and more intense".

Europe might yet be ambushed in the Oval Office, but reduced flood damages by a third between 1950 and 2020 and the US not so much...

Attribution of flood impacts shows strong benefits of adaptation in Europe since 1950
Flood impacts in Europe (1950–2020) were driven mainly by changes in exposure and vulnerability, not long-term change in climate.
