Extreme heat is making life increasingly unlivable
Parts of Asia, Africa, Australia and North America are becoming unlivable for senior citizens, the researchers said.

Environmental and health advocates have long sought to curb dangerous chemicals used in dry cleaning. Now a new study adds to the evidence of harms, linking a
Today, China is responsible for nearly 12 billion tons of CO₂ emissions five times Europe’s current emissions and one-third of the global total. Europe’s misguided decarbonization has handed its prosperity to China on a silver platter. Moreover, it has done so through the European Union. Many people despise the EU without really knowing why. Now they do. We mock the credulity of ancient peoples who believed in myriad deities, to whom they did not hesitate to offer human sacrifices even children. We feel only contempt for such myths. Yet today, the European Union is sacrificing 500 million citizens on the altar of a faceless green god. Not a single European will die from “global warming.” But millions could die from not being able to heat their homes during the winter. Crucially, however, China has also been investing billions in nuclear-fusion energy to provide limitless clean, cheap energy for the unimaginable amounts of electricity that will be required for global dominance in artificial intelligence. The lifespan of a wind turbine is short. By 2030, around 14, 000 of them will need to be replaced in Europe. How fortunate! Simply do not replace them. The issue is easy: the semi-public companies managing these turbines have set aside nothing at all not a single cent for their replacement. All that is needed is to dismantle and remove them. Think of it: our landscapes will no longer be dotted with these useless eyesores. Then we can all write them off as a bet that was lost. In 1992, global carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions stood at 22. 3 billion metric tons. By 2024, they had reached a record high of 37. 4 billion tons- an increase of nearly 68%. Europe, by comparison, emitted 4 billion tons in 1992. By 2023, this figure had fallen to around 2. 5 billion tons, a reduction of approximately 40% on a global scale, a derisory amount. China, for its part, emitted only 2. 5 billion tons of CO₂ in 1992. Today, China is responsible for nearly 12 billion tons of CO₂ emissions five times Europe’s current emissions and one-third of the global total.
