That’s my thing. For scientific measurements C makes a lot of sense, but for general climate there’s a huge difference in feel from 82F to 88F and I just don’t see how 28C to 30C encapsulates that range.
I get that I’m an American and that biases me on it and to someone how used it all their life 50C vs 30C sounds really impressive but I just can’t get over that 122F sounds a lot more dramatic compared to 88F and better represents the dramatic heat they are dealing with (again just to me).
ETA: and don’t get me started about cooking and baking.

It’s a U.S. news article and one of the rules of the sub is to not editorialize the title. You could always start a rival news organization in the U.S. that posts in Celsius and hope that gets picked up if you want.

Nope, it’s just what happens. Fun fact more recent studies put the universal death temperature at lower than 35 degrees. Studies on healthy young people had them entering thermal runaway at more like 32 or 33. Not good.

Man, this is such a dumb quibble to make. But I look at your post history and it's pretty clear you're just an internet arguer (and kind of both-sides-of-your-mouth given you agreed with my general point of 'this temp is fatal' in another comment but quibble with a detail that doesn't matter here in reply to me). So you're probably a fuckin' bot.
BUT.
Just in case someone else is confused by your bullshit:
https://omnicalculator.com/physics/wet-bulb
I put in the peak high of 52.9, and the approximate humidity range from [today](https://www.wunderground.com/history/monthly/in/new-delhi), and the first thing that pops out is that the calculator won't even go to 52.9. It tops out at 50. So I put that in with min, average, and max, and the calculator spits out results. At min (reminder: artificial minimum, I can't go to the actual recorded temperature) it notes that while safe, added monitoring and water are required, and to stop activity if heat stroke symptoms show up. At average and max it notes it's above the fatal range for humans.
Like, what the fuck are you even talking about.

The good thing with the metric system is that people don't develop a phobia of decimal places. If 0.5 are just 500m istead of 0.5mi being 880 yards or 0.5 yards being 1.5 feet, you get used to decimals.
So, 28.5°C are not that unusual. You can still have all the granularity you desire.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/weather/2024/05/29/record-heat-delhi-india-climate-survival/ I now agree with you that the temperature exceeded survival temperatures but your analysis did not show that.
Matters of life and death require precision and accuracy and the chart that you gave me did not have data that supported your claim. The world is full of people who have zero expertise in a field (I have read all of the relevant papers on human survival in high temperatures, have you?) making claims. Your claim was well intentioned but didn’t show the actual fact of temperatures exceeding lethal wet bulb. The analysis done by the Washington Post quoted here showed some wet bulb temperatures in the city did briefly exceed the lethality threshold.
Additionally, and I quote
“However, a news release from the India Meteorological Department said that measurement came from an automated weather station that is considered less reliable than its manually operated stations. Mungeshpur’s temperature of 52.9 degrees Celsius is “an outlier compared to other stations. It could be due to error in the sensor or the local factor. IMD is examining the data and sensors,” the Meteorological Department said.”
The highest temperature reached was 49.9. Plugging that into the wet bulb calculator that you gave me does not give a result that shows human lethality.
The ad hominem attacks were nice though. I really appreciated them! Especially the “reply guy” one. Good luck being awesome ❤️

>Poland has officially exited Article 7, the European Union's exceptional mechanism to rein in countries that openly defy the bloc's fundamental values.
**"We consider there is no longer a clear risk of a serious breach of the rule of law in Poland," said European Commissioner Věra Jourová.**
The decision, previewed earlier this month and formalised on Wednesday morning, ends a long-running saga that dates back to December 2017 when the European Commission triggered Article 7 — known as the "nuclear option" because it can lead to the suspension of voting rights — over Poland's systematic erosion of judicial independence.

Expect one of the worst refugee crisis’ and some of the scariest wars within the next 20-30 years. Places like India and China will desperately seek cooler areas for their population and the only direction to go is north for both.
We see re-freeze and thaw every year. We have already lost multiple Texas-sized planes of sea ice that have just straight up disappeared and not come back, years later and still not back. Things are going to get unbelievably bad for everything from storms and heat to food production and it feels like no one is taking it seriously.

I've lived in the Thar desert and I'm in Delhi rn and I can confidently say this is worse. Desert coolers work much better when humidity is low so never needed an AC even in 50 degrees and we often used to get sandstorms in the desert so the evenings were cool. Coolers don't work well in Delhi so everyone is using AC which are expensive af and more importantly consume a lot of energy. So currently we are experiencing loadshedding at night which means no AC and not even a ceiling fan if you don't have an inverter. Can't use pumps in the morning so water supply compromised as well. Our phones, electric vehicles and many parts of infrastructure (including ACs) are failing as they are not supposed to be used in such high heat.
Atleast we may get showers on Friday.

It’s not sustainable, the type of mass climate migration we will see in the next 2 decades will make what we have right now seem fine. I think you’ll see death camps and hard labour camps for refugees instead. There’s a reason nazis had to find other ways to execute people other than shooting them.

5 million for a massive country is manageable. Iran has millions in refugees already, and their main problems aren't coming from the refugees.
The problem is that it won't be 5 million.

You might consider digging a shelter. Underground temperatures will consistently track 65 degrees regardless of surface weather. If there's a prolonged power outage with lethal wet-bulb temperatures, having a place (even if it's a shitty hole) to take shelter from the heat might be really important.

Ever since I read that chapter, I’ve thought the day something like that transpires in real life, it will change the world unlike anything since the end of WW2. Millions and millions of people will become refugees in the course of less than a year, and the developed countries of the world will finally be forced to face the dire situation we’re in.

Depends on how big the holes are, but you'd need about 35 million minimal holes to get everyone. More of a government project than an individual one (might also be able to do something with building air conditioners that run directly on DC solar power). But if I lived there, on a purely individual basis, I would definitely make sure I either had a basement I could hang out in or dig a six foot hole for me and my family.

That’s my point though. The article is about what weapon was used, but the headline doesn’t mention that. It only mentions where it was made, trying to capture/mislead based on the most recent public discourse (OMG, my tax dollars are being used to send 2000 bombs to intentionally kill babies!!)
The title also gets wrong the location of the strike, which was not on a Rafah tent camp, but was 150 meters or so away. That’s why the size of the munition is so relevant to the article.
A better and less misleading headline would be: Strike causing deadly Rafah fire due to munition designed to limit casualties.
The editors buried the lede here, which is a shame because it’s actually decent and increasingly rare journalism.

The US is co-hosting the T20 World Cup with the West Indies, but most matches are going to take place in the WI, including the super-8s, semis, and final. Half the teams aren't playing any matches in the US at all. For those that are, besides New York there's also Dallas.
The full tournament draw can be found here - https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/icc-men-s-t20-world-cup-2024-1411166/match-schedule-fixtures-and-results The India vs Pakistan match in NY is presumably the one that would be targeted in a terrorist attack, since that's guaranteed to be sold out and have a gigantic global TV audience.
After the WC, the US will also be running its own franchise T20 league. Apparently many/most of the teams are owned by IPL teams.

Yes, cricket isn't big in Arab countries (except UAE which has been a popular cricketing venue), but to say they don't have national teams/leagues is just stupid. Oman is playing in this world cup. UAE has a good team, Qatar, Kuwait and Saudi also have national teams, there are new leagues popping up since few years.

Concern over one country's surveillance law does not negate concern over another one's.
Anyway, the law is a leftover from our previous government, which our current one seems more than happy to change:
>In response, Adam Bodnar – who is now justice minister in the government that replaced PiS in office in December and who also holds the role of prosecutor general – welcomed the European court’s ruling and said that it would provide a “significant impulse for us to take further actions”.
Then again, PiS-affiliated Duda remains president, so there is a chance any legislative changes will still remain blocked for the time being.

End poverty before going to the moon! Fix all the racism before getting involved in WW2! Why are you so fixated on rubbing sticks together while people from our tribe are starving!
Using that logic we wouldn't even have fire. It's absolutely asinine to suggest we cannot tackle other problems until all of our precedent ones are resolved.
