#ClimateDiary I feel stupid - these fires, which have been burning for over a week now in #Brazil’s #Pantanal, the largest #wetlands on the planet, had somehow completely passed me by. The #Heatwave, #Drought and #Wildfires in Brazil are really alarming, yet seem hardly in (my) news. Is lack of coverage going to be another troubling dimension of advancing #ClimateEmergency? Or maybe always been the case. Or maybe just me missing things. Pondering all this.
Current South African Heatwave (Nov 23 data)
There were 171 stations reporting:
16 stations recorded temperatures in the 40-45.7ºC range

"Always and Forever" is an R&B song written by #RodTemperton and produced by #BarryBlue. It was first recorded by the British-based multinational #funk-#disco band #Heatwave in 1976. Released as a single on December 3, 1977, the song is included on Heatwave's debut album #TooHotToHandle (1976) and has been #covered by numerous artists, becoming something of a #standard.

#TaylorSwift’s concert in #Brazil on Sat night was postponed after a fan died just b4 start of her gig in #RioDeJaneiro on Fri
In a statement, the show’s organisers, who did not allow water bottles into the concert, said paramedics had attended to #AnaClaraBenevidesMachado, 23, @ the venue & taken her to hospital, where she died 1 hr later

A fan died at the Friday show from suspected heat stress.
“Rio on Friday hit a record high of the heat index, which combines temperature and humidity, at 59.3°C On Saturday, the heat index peaked at 59.7°C”
We are in a climate emergency
Currently the global average temperature above the 1850-1900 average is +1.43°C

Love how there isnt a single mention of the unusual #HeatWave #SouthAmerica, or even #ClimateChange / #GlobalWarming, in the entire article.
Im sure it isnt mentioned in Taylor's post either.
When will this state of #ClimateDenial end?
I am thinking of the people of Brazil.
If this is what happens during an El Niño when the global average temperature is +1.43°C, what happens during an El Niño that takes place with background warming of 1.5°, 1.7° or 2°C?
People are going to lose their lives.
Best we figure out how to prevent heatwave blackouts.

The institution issued a red alert for the center-west, southeast and parts of the north warning of “a high probability of major damage and accidents, with risks to physical integrity or even human life.”

Researchers recently discovered that the most intense heat wave ever recorded happened last March.
And it was in the coldest region on Earth.
Eastern Antarctica saw a spike of about 70 degrees Fahrenheit above average that month, according to a study published in the peer-reviewed journal Geophysical Research Letters. The region was at 5 degrees Fahrenheit at the peak of the heat wave when it should've been near -65.2 degrees Fahrenheit, the study says.
