☆ Opinion: We built our world for a climate that no longer exists
  + stars: | 2024-07-12 | by ( Opinion Jeff Goodell | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +7 min
But it’s evidence of one of the central truths of our time, and one that is becoming more and more apparent every day: We have built our world for a climate that no longer exists. But less than two months earlier, a sudden windstorm in the city blacked out electricity for more than a million people. How many blackouts will it take before we realize today’s power grid was built for yesterday’s climate? One clear example: the incredible decline in the cost of renewable power in recent years. In virtually every part of the world, electricity generated by renewable power is cheaper than electricity generated by fossil fuels.

☆ UN chief heat officer says warming cities pose potential to be major killers

Sept 6 (Reuters) - The United Nations' first global chief heat officer called on Wednesday for political leaders to make firm commitments at November's COP28 climate meeting to stem rapidly rising temperatures in cities, particularly in poorer countries. "In July, we had these crazy heat domes in almost all of the Northern Hemisphere." "It really felt like something was different, it felt like a turning point," Myrivili, the former chief heat officer for Athens, said. Myrivili and national chief heat officers around the world are focused on measures like bringing nature into cities and employing mitigation techniques such as the white reflecting asphalt introduced in Phoenix, Arizona. There are a lot of countries that have a lot of informal housing, a lot of informal labour and a lot of poverty, and that's where heat becomes the real killer."
