Heat waves due to climate change have cost world economy trillions ... (Devdiscourse)

Massive economic losses due to sweltering temperatures brought on by human-caused climate change are not just a problem for the distant future.

"It's a massive international wealth transfer from the poorest countries in the world to the richest countries in the world through climate change -- and that transfer needs to be reversed." "Global events like the COVID-19 pandemic have revealed the close interconnectedness of the supply chain and the global economy. The world's poorest countries in the tropics and the global [South](/news?tag=South) have and will continue to bear a disproportionate share of the economic consequences of excessive heat. According to Mankin and [Callahan](/news?tag=Callahan), the study's findings highlight the challenges of climate justice and inequality. They discovered that from 1992 to 2013, heat waves statistically correlated with changes in economic growth and that the negative effects of extreme heat on human health, productivity, and agricultural output cost an estimated USD 16 trillion.

Florida heat births more female turtles than males. It may lead to ... (NPR)

"If the temperature continues to increase further than currently projected, then you will start to see the death of hatchlings because eggs can't develop after a certain temperature." They are also among the larger sea turtles, with adults weighing an average of 275 pounds. Back on the beach in Sarasota, marine biologist Alexis Ferrara fields several calls from volunteers who report finding stranded hatchlings. In Florida, those nests are monitored and marked by tape and wooden stakes. The adage is hot chicks and cool dudes," says Jake Lasala, with the Mote Marine Sea Turtle Conservation & Research Program in Sarasota. "It's just we are now seeing it on a larger scale." Their gender is determined by the temperature of their nests. Sea turtles that incubate in sand that is 81.86 degrees Fahrenheit or lower will be male. Loggerheads are the most common sea turtle in Florida and are named for their massive, block-like heads. The baby turtles are then taken to Mote Marine's Sea Turtle Rehabilitation Hospital for a health checkup and are then released into the Gulf of Mexico — each a tiny success story. Those in sand 88.8 degrees Fahrenheit or higher will be female. But scientists say global warming is another developing risk to the species.
