Besonders verwundbare Gruppen - Alte, Frauen und Menschen mit niedrigem sozioökonomischen Status – können vor Hitzewellen in Städten nur dann besser geschützt werden, wenn sie nicht in den der Hitze am meisten ausgesetzten Teilen einer Stadt leben müssen. Dies zeigt eine neue Studie zur räumlichen Verteilung der Verwundbarkeit durch Hitze am Beispiel Madrids. Ohne wirksame räumlich-soziale Gegenmaßnahmen werden sich die „verwundbaren Cluster“ ausdehnen https://www.repubblica.it/green-and-blue/2024/10/21/news/ondate_di_calore_in_citta_madrid_quartieri_piu_a_rischio-423568496/

Der europäische Klimaservice Copernicus und die Weltwetterorganisation WMO weisen in einem gemeinsamen Bericht darauf hin, dass die Zahl der Hitzetoten in Europa in 20 Jahren um 30% gestiegen ist. Der Bericht stellt 2023 detailliert als Jahr der Hitzerekorde da. https://taz.de/Folgen-der-Klimakrise/!6005690/

Eine extreme Hitzewelle hat in der Sahelzone Hunderte, wahrscheinlich Tausende Menschenleben gefordert. World Weather Attribution zufolge ist die Höhe der Temperaturen eindeutig auf die globale Erhitzung durch Treibhausgase zurückzuführen. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2024/apr/18/lethal-heatwave-in-sahel-worsened-by-fossil-fuel-burning-study-finds

Osijek ist einer neuen Studie zufolge die europäische Stadt mit den meisten Hitzetoten. Nach den Ursachen wird noch geforscht. Die hohe Feuchigkeit önnte genauso eine Rolle spielen wie Nachwirkungen des Kriegs. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/jan/06/its-full-of-green-areas-mystery-of-europes-heat-death-hotspot

Einer Greenpeace-Studie zufolge werden die Treibhausgasemissionen von 9 großen europäischen Fossilkonzernen (darunter auch die OMV) im Jahr 2022 zu mindestens 360.000 vorzeitigen Todesfällen allein aufgrund von Extremtemperaturen führen. Dabei gehen die Autor:innen aufgrund einer Übersichtsstudie davon aus, dass 9.318 Tonnen CO₂ im Jahr 2020 statistisch gesehen zu einem zusätzlichen Todesfall bis 2100 führen werden. https://taz.de/Studie-zu-Fossilkonzernen/!5978273/

Studie: https://www.greenpeace.org/nl/todaysemissionstomorrowsdeaths/

Eine neue Studie ergibt, dass 62.000 bis 70.000 Todesfälle in Europa im Jahr 2022 mit extremer Hitze in Verbindung standen. Mit 18 000 Toten stand Italien dabei an der Spitze. In der Studie werden vor allem Antworten auf methodische Fragen gesucht https://www.repubblica.it/green-and-blue/2023/11/21/news/vittime_decessi_caldo_europa_2022-420898495/

Der Statistik Austria zufolge starben im vergangenen Sommer besonders viele Menschen während Hitzewellen. Besonders hoch lag die Zahl der Sterbefälle dort, wo Menschen über zwei Wochen hohen Temperaturen ausgesetzt waren https://www.derstandard.at/story/3000000188927/mehr-sterbefaelle-waehrend-hitzeperioden-laut-statistik-austria

Über 100 Menschen sind in den vergangenen Tagen in Nordindien an den Folgen einer Hitzewelle mit Rekordtemperaturen gestorben. Eine Studie der World Weather attribution hat ergeben, dass die Hitzewelle in Indien im April durch die globale Erhitzung um 30% wahrscheinlicher geworden ist. Wenn sich die Erhitzung fortsetzt werden große Teile Indiens, wie eine weitere neulich veröffentlichte Studie ergibt, für Menschen potenziell unbewohnbar werden.

An der Rekordhitze im südlichen Nordamerika sind in Mexiko schon über 100, in den USA mehr als zehn Menschen gestorben. https://www.derstandard.at/story/3000000177162/zahlreiche-hitzetote-in-mexiko-und-usa

Im Verhältnis zur Bevölkerungszahl starben im letzten Jahr in Italien die meisten Menschen an den Folgen der Hitze. Aus den in Nature Medicine publizierten Zahlen zu den Hitzetoten in Europa.geht hervor, dass 2022 auf eine Million Einwohner 295Todesfääe durch Hitze kamen. In Italien war es 2022 im Durchschnitt 2,28° wärmer als im historischen Mittel.

In Europa sind 2022 60.000 Menschen an den Folgen der Hitze gestorben. Eine neue Studie beziffert die gesundheitlichen Folgen der Hitze. In Deutschland liegt die Zahl der hitzetoten bei knapp unter 100 je einer Million in Spanien bei über 237. https://taz.de/Studie-zu-Gefahr-durch-Hitze/!5946057/

Die Zahl der Hitzetoten in Frankreich zwischen 2014 und 2022 liegt bei 33.000. Zzm ersten Mal hat eine wissenschaftliche Studie die Korrelation zwischen Todesfällen und Temperaturen über 30 Grad erhoben. Ein Drittel dieser Toten waren Menschen unter 75 Jahren. allein im besonders heißen Sommer 2022 sind 7000 Menschen an der Hitze gestorben. .https://www.liberation.fr/societe/sante/les-chaleurs-de-lete-ont-tue-pres-de-33-000-personnes-en-huit-ans-alerte-sante-publique-france-20230623_6RTEO2NSGFFV7FXRP3MOCZDLXY/

Auch die Repubblica berichtet über die Studie der Universität Bristol zu zukünftigen extremen Hitzewellen und ihren Folgen. Zwischen 1998 und 2017 sind mehr als 166.000 Menschen an diesen Extremereignissen gestorben. Die Publikation verwendet statistische Methoden der Erforschung extrem unwahrscheinlicher Ergeignisse, um die es sich bei 31% der untersuchten Hitzewellen zwischen 1959 und 2021 gehandelt hat. https://www.repubblica.it/green-and-blue/2023/05/12/news/ondate_di_calore_europa_regioni_a_rischio-399709172/

Why is memory for online pieces weaker for most?

Is it the lack of sense of "physical" location for helping to store it? What about the seemingly ephemeral character of online data?

I like how Dr. Pacheco-Vega outlines some of his research process here.

Sharing it on Twitter is great, and so is storing a copy on his website. I do worry that it looks like the tweets are embedded via a simple URL method and not done individually, which means that if Twitter goes down or disappears, so does all of his work. Better would be to do a full blockquote embed method, so that if Twitter disappears he's got the text at least. Images would also need to be saved separately.

This didn't work out too well for them did it?

Twitter may have felt like the dial tone of the internet for several years, but I'm starting to feel like the tide has changed. Twitter has started a decline and ideas and energy are now slowly flowing to new growth on the internet. It may take a while, but unless Twitter does something drastic and amazing, they're going to slowly bleed out and die.

I love the verbifification of MySpace here. Its one of the earliest and most popular social media platforms which is now primarily known for its spectacular collapse and death as a social platform.
