GLOBETROTTER: Jako imho na tom neco castecne bude. Problem s Lomborgem je, ze ocividne ma svoji agendu a absolutne se mu neda verit v zaverech, ktery z dat vyvozuje. Ma strasne dlouhou historii prekrucovani dat, v podstate do kazdy debaty kam prisel, tak se ohrazovali odbornici v dany oblasti, vcetne lidi, jejichz studie pro svoji argumentaci pouzival. Zrovna konkretne tenhle clanek jsem necetl (za paywallem, nemuzes sem hodit cely plz?), ale predpokladam, ze to bude variace na toto:

“In the [2015] article[3], we computed both cold and heat-related deaths in a number of locations and countries, and indeed the former were much larger. However, the analysis focuses on the historical period and does not compute the differences in both cold and heat-related deaths in scenarios with and without climate change. That is, it provides no information on if the predicted decrease in cold-related deaths will offset the predicted increase in heat-related deaths.

Lomborg and others who have cited my 2015 article to support the claim that climate change will be beneficial conveniently ignore that we actually addressed this question in the following article published in The Lancet Planetary Health[4], where we computed such a ‘net’ effect. It turned out that in many countries, especially in highly populated tropical areas, the increase in heat-related deaths is much higher than the reduction in cold-related deaths, with an increase in net mortality, especially under more extreme scenarios of global warming. A separate analysis led by other research groups[5,6] has confirmed these results in both the US and Europe.”

From Dissipating Clouds to Record-Setting Areas of Drought, the State of the Climate in 2023 Was Shockingly Severe | Discover Magazine

Here in Part 3 of the series, I look at some of the other impacts, starting with one that took me surprise: In addition to being the warmest year, 2023 was also the least cloudy ever observed globally in records dating back four decades. Some areas saw particularly steep declines in cloudiness, including the Indian Ocean, the Arctic, and Northern Hemisphere.

The global average for cloud cover in 2023 was the lowest ever recorded.
...
In 2023, the report concludes that clouds reflected away to space the smallest amount of energy from the Sun ever observed. That meant more solar energy reached the surface to cause warming. But at the same time, clouds blocked the least amount of heat energy from escaping to space from the surface.

Teasing out the net effect from changes in cloudiness is complicated, because different kinds of clouds have different impacts. With that caveat in mind, the report concludes that the overall impact "was the weakest cooling effect of clouds on record." And this, in turn, reinforced 2023's shocking warmth.
...
In fact, the amount of precipitation that fell during the year was one of the lowest in records going back to 1979. At the same time, the intensity of rain that did fall increased, which can contribute to damaging deluges.

As the report points out, this is just what scientists have long expected with a warming climate.
...
Emissions of CO2 by the most advanced economies of the world have peaked and are dropping — even as economic growth continues. They're accomplishing this through efforts to use energy more efficiently, along with a massive ramp-up in renewables. And this points the way forward toward a day when we may finally tame the climate crisis.

Storms and heavy rainfall have swept down Italy in recent days after weeks of scorching heat, which had lifted the temperature of the Mediterranean sea to record levels, raising the risk of extreme weather conditions, experts said.

“The sea surface temperature around Sicily was around 30C (86F), which is almost 3 degrees more than normal. This creates an enormous source of energy that contributes to these storms,” said meteorologist Luca Mercalli.

Osobně máme termoprádlo a další teplé oblečení (na to existuje i samotná jednotka Clo), elektrické deky, elektrickou podložku na matraci (to působí až "luxusně"). V koupelně nebo mém malém "kanclu" si na chvíli zapínám přímotop co má větrák. Po ránu cvičím, což mě na pár hodin též ohřeje, v průběhu dne to samé, také denní pitný režim zakládám na horkých napojích. V zimě máme spotřebu někde okolo ~10kWh za den (v létě ~6kWh), a to jsme tu ve dvou celý den u PC, stará cihla, jediné co tak jsou tu plast. okna, téměř 90m2.

Ještě má autor zajímavý experiment a článek o generaci elektřiny šlapáním na kole, což vystačí tak na večerní osvětlení, nicméně se u toho člověk určitě taktéž zahřeje :)

BREAKING: Hottest Day On Record 3rd Day In A Row — Global Heating Is Here - CleanTechnica
https://cleantechnica.com/2024/07/25/breaking-hottest-day-on-record-3rd-day-in-a-row-global-heating-is-here/

Already back in May, Reuters reported, “Meteorologists say a weather phenomenon known as a ‘heat dome’ ‌has trapped hot air over the southern Gulf of Mexico and northern Central America, causing temperatures to soar to 45 degrees Celsius (113 degrees Fahrenheit) in some areas. Between May 12 and May 21, authorities said 22 people died from heat-related causes, adding to a total of 48 deaths since March 17. In comparison, during the same period in 2022 and 2023, heat waves claimed the lives of two and three people, respectively.”

Meanwhile, over in Delhi, India, the capital city of famously hot India set a new heat record in May, before summer officially arrived, reaching 52.3 degrees Celsius (Fahrentheit)! “The highest temperature ever recorded in India has been recorded.

And down in Venezuela, the country lost its last glacier — in early May.

...

Then, this past Sunday, the world — the Earth as a whole — reached its hottest day on record. But that was short lived, as the record was broken again the next day, on Monday.

...

Temperatures in Fairbanks, Alaska, were forecast to hit 90 degrees Fahrenheit (32 degrees Celsius) yesterday. Earlier in July, Las Vegas “saw five straight days with a high temperature of 115 degrees Fahrenheit or more, breaking the old record of four consecutive days set in July 2005, per The Guardian. It also hit a record high of 120 degrees on July 7.”

...

June was the 13th month in a row to set a new heat record for the month. We can be sure July will be the 14th month in a row.

These signals that tourists are eschewing heat for summer demonstrates the growth of the Temperate Travel trend published in VML Intelligence’s The Future 100: 2023. At the time, we’d noted that “climate change is likely to be a key factor in planning travel,” with “the concept of a summer vacation evolving as tourists reimagine travel over the coming years.” As climate change progresses, it looks like that change is already happening.

SHEFIK: Renewable energy is the only answer for long-term security. The UK has hundreds of small businesses producing innovative renewable technology that can provide our energy needs. What’s been holding them back is an inconsistent and uncertain investment environment. This is particularly relevant for decarbonising heat. It’s responsible for about 37 percent of total UK carbon emissions, yet is consistently forgotten about in the rush to electrify everything. The next Government would be wise not to neglect it - we can’t reach net zero without renewable heat."
