Keeping our eye on the ball

Meanwhile, back in the real world,

Extreme heat affects a plane’s ability to take off. Hot air is less dense than cold air, and the hotter the temperature, the more speed a plane needs to lift off. A runway might not be long enough to allow a plane to achieve the necessary extra speed.

120F is 49C. About time we learned to live within our limits. It’s not rocket science, but I suspect there will be more and more areas of life affected by climate change that we haven’t anticipated.

Moderator note – Zero tolerance for climate change denial in the comments. Bans will be issued now without warning.
