☆ 2 of the world's biggest oil producers are looking for new ways to power their economies
  + stars: | 2024-10-22 | by ( Huileng Tan | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +7 min
Oil prices ended down 7% last week and are lower this year-to-date, despite Middle East tensions. Oil prices have been depressed this year because China — the world's largest oil importer — is in a prolonged economic downturn. Last year, they each accounted for 11% of the world's oil supply. This means that Saudi Arabia is looking to corner a larger market share instead of targeting higher profit margins by restricting output. Advertisement"But the problem is when oil prices spike, it sends oil companies searching for temporarily profitable oil," he added, referring to the US shale boom as the most recent example.

☆ Heat is testing the limits of human survivability. Here’s how it kills

The tragedy is sadly far from unique; extreme heat is turning ordinary activities deadly. Heat is the deadliest type of extreme weather, and the human-caused climate crisis is making heat waves more severe and prolonged. What heat does to your heartVideo Ad Feedback A rise in heat and humidity pushes the heart rate up. In extreme heat, your heart must work much harder to keep your body’s internal temperature stable. Blood flow to your brain decreases in extreme heat as breathing speeds up and blood vessels constrict inside your neck and skull.

☆ Deadly humid heat could hit billions, spread as far as US Midwest, study says

"It's very disturbing," study co-author Matthew Huber of Purdue University in the U.S. state of Indiana told Reuters. It found that around 750 million people could experience one week per year of potentially deadly humid heat if temperatures rise 2 degrees Celsius (3.6 degrees Fahrenheit) above preindustrial levels. At 4C of warming, Hodeidah, Yemen, would see around 300 days per year of potentially unsurvivable humid heat. WET-BULB THRESHOLDTo track such moist heat, scientists use a measurement known as "wet-bulb" temperature. Beyond this, people were likely to succumb to heat stress if they could not find a way to cool down.

☆ Beyond Catastrophe: A New Climate Reality Is Coming Into View

Beyond Catastrophe A New Climate Reality Is Coming Into View By David Wallace-WellsYou can never really see the future, only imagine it, then try to make sense of the new world when it arrives. (A United Nations report released this week ahead of the COP27 climate conference in Sharm el Sheikh, Egypt, confirmed that range.) A little lower is possible, with much more concerted action; a little higher, too, with slower action and bad climate luck. There were climate-change skeptics in some very conspicuous positions of global power. New emissions peaks are expected both this year and next, which means that more damage is being done to the future climate of the planet right now than at any previous point in history.
