#ClimateDiary continuing to think of everyone - people, animals, plants - stuck under the #Heatdome in #Texas and #Mexico

‘Heat is deadlier than more fearsome-sounding weather events such as hurricanes, floods and tornadoes—combined. “It’s really not even close with any other extreme” ‘

Heat is #SlowViolence and #SilentViolence

We hear of one postman; rapper #BigPokey dying of suspected #Heatstroke in a #Juneteenth performance; but it’s so many more suffering

Reading this ⬆️ i was wondering how hot it was in #Mecca just now - I don’t really have a sense of “normal” temperatures during the #Hajj or indeed of what kind of #ClimateAdaption or #HeatActionPlans are in place for this already, but it’s made me think more about wider social, cultural impact of #ClimateChange - might events like Hajj or #Juneteenth in #Houston (where rapper #BigPokey may have died of #Heatstroke during performance) become untenable? #ClimateDiary

The list rolls forward... more of the #music artists we have lost in 2023 are honored in our our running #Spotify playlist, #RestInParadise.
