So my trip this week was to engage with a uni lab that gets undergraduates involved in research about heat - including stuff that actually gets into policy briefings and news coverage. Can confirm that 20 year olds are VERY motivated to talk & work & vote on these issues, in California at least...
“Scorching summer temperatures have pushed extreme heat to the front of the nation’s collective consciousness. There’s just one problem: It’s hard to get politicians to care about it.” www.politico.com/news/2023/08...
Extreme heat is on everyone's lips. Too bad it can't get political traction.www.politico.com Extreme heat funding is a tiny fraction of California's climate budget, despite killing more residents than all other weather events combined.
