In a rapidly warming world, heat waves will become mass mortality events. If 2003 European heat wave were to recur with 1.5 °C of warming (we're close to that today), this study predicts 17,800 excess deaths across Europe in *one week.* With 3 C of warming, the toll rises to 32,000.
📈🚨NEW: Extreme heat events are increasingly threatening to become mass mortality events. In @natclimate.nature.com today, we project tens of thousands of deaths in a single week across Europe if extreme heat domes coincide with rising global temperatures.

A major federal beach replenishment project years in the making for the Wildwoods has collapsed because two communities have effectively withdrawn.
That’s bad news for North Wildwood, which desperately needs reinforcement for its beaches.

🧵 With the warm end of September, followed by four days in the 80°s early in October, one might have wondered when fall weather was going to arrive in New Jersey. By now, we know that by mid-month a transition to cooler weather arrived.

Climate change is ALREADY costing you and will only get more expensive if we don’t invest in #ClimateResilience.
I’m agnostic on HOW we pay for it, but the principle of #PollutersPay, that those who reaped $Trillions$ should help pay for the impacts of their actions, makes sense to me.

Ensuring that #NJ has the resources to help people and our communities AFTER a disaster is important and compassionate. But it is more impactful and cost-efficient to invest in #ClimateResilience BEFORE the death and destruction resulting from worsening, more frequent, and more costly events.

NJ gets about $506M a year in federal disaster aid, but researchers say the state should better budget for catastrophes if that aid dries up.

$100M to raise roads in just a few spots. Now multiply that by 100 (which is conservative). That's $100B.
This is not a comment on the specific project. It is a comment on the extreme costs it will take just to make towns livable in a warmer world. Is this really the direction we want to take?
