Twitter (X) search of climate educators #Climateeductors reveals no one is talking about Wet Bulb Temperatures and severe climate change heat rusks, meanwhile people are dieing from heatstroke across Europe, Asia & the USA.
Air pollution from industrial activity, transport & energy generation & in the future from geoengineering particulates falling out of the atmosphere.
Heat
Increasing global temperatures caused by CO2 & other GHG (Green House Gas) emissions from Fossil Fuel (FF) consumption & burning. As well as methane (CH4) also known as Natural Gas (NG) emissions from FF extraction, processing & leaks as well as novell emissions from wetlands as the global temperature rises.
2023 has seen a spike in global temperature, August 2023 being the hottestsince records began globally.
Pluvials are rain storms that bring about rapid flooding and, in some cases, erosive floodwaters sweeping away all in its path: topsoil, causing landslides, crop loss & loss of soil carbon.
Tsunamis
Tsunamis caused by Ice sheet sliding into the ocean in Antarctica & Greenland.
Wildfires
Prolonged heat events turn our countryside to tinder. The Northern Boreal Forests are burning- this is Earth’s largest Carbon store.
Combined & CompoundedEvents
Combines Geological, tidal, storm, rain & political events will exacerbate human ability to respond, this may lead to communities being abandoned to cope, as we have seen with Katrina, the American Dream for those people with no Insurance is a nightmare.

Okay this is very serious stuff! As the climate warms the temperature goes up globally and it is really disastrous for the unprepared. This is why we have Sauna.
Even heat-adapted people cannot carry out normal outdoor activities past a wet-bulb temperature of 32 °C (90 °F), equivalent to a heat index of 55 °C (130 °F). The theoretical limit to human survival for more than a few hours in the shade, even with unlimited water, is 35 °C (95 °F) – theoretically equivalent to a heat index of 70 °C (160 °F), though the heat index does not go that high.
This is however misinformation. The Finnish Sauna “combat” exercises test this at up to 110 °C. The world championship contest was actually a secret science experiment where the maximum temperature with extreme humidity was prolonged up to 15 minutes, resulting in the death of a non-Finnish person. Typical sauna is 80-90 °C with extremely high humidity as it is customary to throw more water into the sauna stove in order to increase the humidity and wet bulb temperature.
And it doesn’t end here! It is customary to drink alcohol, a lot of it. Alcohol dries up the body even more in order to improve the effect of the exercise.
Global warming has been detected already in the industrial era in the 1800’s. And ever since then it has been customary for Finnish women to give birth in Sauna. There is indication that this could have occurred much earlier in the history in order to breed the most adaptable variant of the human species against changes of extreme temperatures.
Ever wondered how every Finnish person has access to Sauna but only the rich and wealthy have Sauna outside Finland!!??
The global warming is the ultimate plot to control the population rapidly and then drastically lower the temperature to bring a new ice age. And yes the Finns have trained for this as well. During winter they can survive naked in the snow. And a part of their training regimens is usually to go to the icy frozen water in the dead of winter AFTER exiting the 90 °C sauna and they easily survive that. Even worse the project has gone so far that they even ENJOY IT!
Everyone who is denying global warming is in the plot. You have only two options for survival. One you can try to stop the global warming… OR you can try to get a sauna and prepare for the days when wet-bulb temperature hits 35 °C.
If you want to copy the Finnish sauna combat exercise you need a sauna that can go up to 80 °C and you should have from 0.5 liters to 2 liters of cold beer in order to emulate dehydration. There is so much money spent on misinformation that goes against global warming that this might be your ONLY option for survival.
And this might be how we can avert global warming. If enough people get a sauna, the plan for world domination won’t work anymore. This could end up saving even the ones without Sauna as the industries and governments are given instructions to stop the actions that warm climate.
Open your eyes. The country doesn’t exist. The people inside the supposed ‘Finland’ spend time in heat chambers that go way over what wikipedia considers survivable. And I haven’t even mentioned the “Vihta” yet.
Vihta is a tool which they use to whip themselves in order to improve their pain tolerance while practicing in the heat chamber. They also expose themselves to temperature that is supposed to cause hypothermia.
What more proof do you need in order to be convinced!?” Source: Reddit.
“The World Sauna Championships were an annual endurance contest held in Heinola, Finland, from 1999 to 2010. They originated from unofficial sauna-sitting competitions that resulted in a ban from a swimming hall in Heinola. The Championships were first held in 1999 and grew to feature contestants from over 20 countries. Sauna bathing at extreme conditions is a severe health risk: all competitors competed at their own risk, and had to sign a form agreeing not to take legal action against the organizers.” – source: Wkipedia
A competition with life ending consequences, cited by climate conspiracy theorists as how humans can adapt with training to dangerous wet-bulb temperatures.
“Russian competitor Vladimir Ladyzhenskiy was up against Finland’s defending champion Timo Kaukonen in the competition’s final round; six minutes in, both men collapsed with severe burns. The room reportedly hit temperatures as high as 230 degrees.”
“A heat-period is defined as day(s) on which a Level 3 Heat Health Alert is issued and/or day(s) when the mean Central England Temperature is greater than 20°C; between June and August 2022, there were five heat-periods that met this criterion.” Source: MET Office.
I have watched a number of Preppers YouTuber channels for some years and note that they are developing their own homegrown weather forecasting, ignoring severe heat events, and “poopooing” the accepted science of meteorology & empirical data. They believe that the above temperature of 20°C is too low, though fail to provide any indication as to why.
The problem lies in data. The failure to grasp the data, understanding mean temperature, and the fact that aggregated data produces a monthly mean which is lower than 20°C. Average temperature for the UK for June, July, August & September 1961-2020 is between 14-18°C so therefore 20°C is the anomaly & marker for a heatwave. The suggestion that ti’s is too cool fails to take humidity into account.
The climate of the UK has always been characterised as unsettled and predominantly rainy. The weather is the Englishmans favourite topic for discussion- Cold, wet & windy. Therefore this would indicate there is is a high level of airborne moisture. While the weather is cool the airborne moisture is hardly noticeable. Add some additional heat to the mean and quickly we enter the realm of the unbearable and dangerous.
The Dangers of Dismissing the Warnings
I think that Preppers would prefer a heatwave to be classed as 30°C or over. But failure to understand humidity & the increased carrying capacity of moisture in the atmosphere brought on by warmer air. It’s either a failure to understand or flat out denial of science or both.
Setting the bar higher is a mistake. It would not take into account situations like south facing gardens, other natural and man-made environments, which become heat traps. Temperatures in heat traps can be 5-7° higher than the forecast & actual air temperature. Couple higher temperatures with humidity & sun traps can become “thermal kill zones”
Learn About & Understand Wet-Bulb Temperatures & the Impacts on life.
The Northern Boreal Forests are on fire, there are wildfire across southern Europe, Tenerife, South America & Hawaii.
These fires are driven by climate change, global heating and now declared by the UN as Global Boiling.
The increased heating of the planet is driven by population growth, mass consumption, overshoot and the increased burning of Fossil Fuels. We know⁸ but they suppressed the information in exchange for profit & extinction.
I know some preppers will read this and just say it’s bullshit and then interchange weather with climate and say things like the climate and weather change all the time. The 1st problem is that weather is not climate and the second is that for the last 8- 10,000 years the climate has been stable with minor fluctuations caused by Milankovich cycles, El Nino & La Ninia & volcanic events. It has been at least 12,000 years since the last earth impact event which affected the global climate, possibly ending the last ice age. Climate change normally takes place over geologic time.
Today we are in abrupt and irreversible climate change. Its onset now is rapid & this is what is driving the 6th mass extinction. Glaciers and icesheets across the glove are melting at astonishing and alarming rates. This is catastrophic for some species like Emperor Penguins now, and mostof the rest of all life on earth.
“Emperor penguin colonies experienced unprecedented breeding failure in a region of Antarctica where there was total sea ice loss in 2022. The discovery supports predictions that over 90% of emperor penguin colonies will be quasi-extinct by the end of the century, based on current global warming trends”
know, it’s a left wing paper, but the right wing press don’t want you to know that climate change is a problem, that it could result in famine, drought, pandemic, mass internal and external refgees and civilisation collapse.
Periods of severe heat turn nature into a tinder box. Putting plants under stress severe stress. The Northern Boreal Forests are burning!Inceased temperature have thawed the permafrost. The Boreal Forets fires are destroying the last great wildernesses. The last of earth’s great carbon sinks is losing its carbon.
We were told 1.5°C was catastrophic, could will likely be at 1.5-1.8 by 2024. Will the story now be 1.5 is tolerable, 2°C is where we are aiming to stop. Proff James E Hansen is probably the best authority on where earth is headed: Global Warming in the Pipeline for Earth.
Forest animals are dieing in their 1000s in these forest fires.
Human mortality from Severe Heat
“The actual death is often caused by a heart attack or organ failure.
Lee says she’s heard that people might even be filled with euphoria near the end stages of hyperthermia, like those who experience hypothermia—a loss of body heat.
For some, this process happens quickly—sometimes within two or three hours. That’s part of what makes it so lethal: You can go from feeling bothered by the heat to dead in 90 minutes.”
When the combination of heat and humidity mean a person or animal can no longer cool down naturally like sweating, death is quick to follow unless you can find a way to cool down.
When the temperature exceed 27°C with high humidity the body loses the ability to sweat. Sweating is how th body cools itself.
A combination of heat and humidity is known as a wet bulb temperature. The charts below may be downloaded and kept for future reference. It’s important to be able to measure temperature & humidity accurately.
Stay hydrated, drink iced drinks, stay out of the Sun, get into a cool paddling pool, get your clothes wet, take things slow, avoid alcohol and use hydration electrolytes.
Stay safe.
Severe cold can be coped with, with clothing and fire. Severe heat is a struggle for life.
“The deadliest tropical cyclone in world history is the Great Bhola Cyclone, which struck Bangladesh in 1970 and caused approximately 500,000 fatalities
The Climate Emergency is a grand opportunity for unscrupulous politicians
Explained excellently here.
And unscrupulous preppers talking about lockdowns which are never going to happen.
“Professor Christina Pagel, of University College London, told i: “I think the chance of another lockdown is somewhere between ‘extremely unlikely’ and ‘vanishingly unlikely’”
