This is terrible. As an American what can I really do? There is no one to vote for that supports drastic climate actions. Me planting trees isn’t going to do anything nor me living a waste free life. I donate to ocean clean up efforts which is about all I can afford. I try my best to only purchase items from companies that are clean but we all know claims can be fabricated and lots items cannot be bought without some sort of carbon foot print and evil behind it.
We started the subreddit [r/heat_prep](https://www.reddit.com/r/heat_prep) to discuss all things extreme heat preparedness. Come join the conversation!
That’s over 50°C. I can’t even imagine.
Why is this not in Celcius, that’s the scale we use in pretty much every country.
