Deadly heatwaves in Europe. Floods, typhoons and scorching temperatures across Asia. Extreme weather is no longer just an environmental story. It's reshaping economies, disrupting livelihoods and exposing how prepared or lacking some countries really are. From Brussels to Bangkok, correspondents Will Denselow and Jack Board examine with Genevieve Woo why governments are still scrambling despite decades of climate warnings, what adaptation looks like on the ground, and why the difference between a crisis and a manageable disruption ultimately boils down to preparation, not prediction.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

As extreme heat becomes more common across Australia, its impact is being felt beyond the weather. From summer holidays to community sport, changing conditions are prompting calls for greater heat awareness, particularly among younger Australians.#sbsaudiopodcast

Europe is bracing itself for one of its worst ever potato harvests ever, with the price expected to rise and the size decreasing due to extreme heat experienced this summer…Joining Shane to discuss this is Mick Kelly, Founder of GIY.

Al-Hilal and Senegal captain Kalidou Koulibaly opens up about his remarkable football journey from Metz and Genk to becoming one of Serie A's top defenders with Napoli, playing for Chelsea in the Premier League, and finding a new home in Saudi Arabia with Al Hilal.  Kouli reflects on how Maurizio Sarri transformed his game, facing racism in European football, the mentality and leadership required at the highest level, and what it really takes to become an elite defender.  He also takes us inside Al Hilal's historic Club World Cup run, including the unforgettable victory over Manchester City, while sharing his perspective on the growth of the Saudi Pro League, the future of Saudi football, and the next generation of Saudi players.  The conversation goes beyond club football as Koulibaly discusses captaining Senegal, AFCON, mental health, pressure, his relationship with Al Hilal fans, life in Saudi Arabia, his father's influence, and the legacy he hopes to leave behind when his playing career comes to an end.  0:00 Intro4:53 The Sacrifices of Professional Football6:14 Rediscovering the Joy of Football9:44 Thriving Under Pressure at the Biggest Clubs12:20 Napoli: The Turning Point17:09 How Sarri Changed the Way He Sees Football19:14 Facing Racism in Football24:16 Why Become a Defender28:57 Communication, Leadership Defending as a Team33:45 Performing When You're Not at 100%35:21 Playing in Saudi Arabia's Extreme Heat38:45 The Penalty That Taught Koulibaly a New Rule41:03 Al Hilal: From an Unbeaten Season to No Trophies44:13 Representing Saudi Football at the Club World Cup46:20 The Historic Victory Against Manchester City51:34 Changing the Perception of Saudi Football53:37 Al Hilal's Most Underrated Players59:07 Developing the Next Generation of Saudi Talent1:05:30 The Real Salem Al-Dawsari1:09:24 Mental Health, Motivation Enjoying Football1:12:47 Koulibaly's Message to Al Hilal Supporters1:16:00 The Red Card in the 2024 King's Cup Final1:19:34 Captaining Senegal Representing a Nation1:24:36 The AFCON Controversy1:28:26 Investing in Saudi Arabia Life Beyond Football1:30:28 How Football and Defending Has Changed1:33:22 Greatest Idol1:34:35 Closing Thoughts Presented by BSFInstagram https://bit.ly/47XvqjvX https://bit.ly/4vkYICNLinkedIn https://bit.ly/4c7CsooWebsite https://bit.ly/4tBULI0 Noon Instagram https://bit.ly/3XRScUYWebsite https://bit.ly/44lnA1S AlmosaferInstagram https://bit.ly/4xOCwkxX https://bit.ly/4xZo0ahWebsite https://bit.ly/3TcXZFoApp Download https://bit.ly/4Amy4vO Brew 92Instagram http://bit.ly/3VN6MeILinkedIn https://bit.ly/42kN65EWebsite https://bit.ly/4grbAjK IWC Instagram https://bit.ly/44dxbFWWebsite https://bit.ly/43K8JMk Lexus Instagram https://bit.ly/4tRXzS6X https://bit.ly/4cDZ4gIWebsite https://bit.ly/4kTlTz6 The Mo ShowYoutube https://bit.ly/3nDwsZvApple Podcast https://apple.co/3J9ScX4Spotify https://spoti.fi/33dzsC2Anghami https://bit.ly/3mRo1uyInstagram https://bit.ly/2KAwq5vX https://bit.ly/3KanEnJTikTok https://bit.ly/43L92poLinkedIn https://bit.ly/3NkxZoeSnapchat https://bit.ly/3NM3LKQWebsite https://bit.ly/3H2DhMMEmail info@themopodcast.com

Unit 11 Extreme Heat and Aging: A Newly Confirmed Health Risk 炎熱天氣讓人疲倦、感到虛脫，但它影響的可能不只是當下的不適。當熱浪一次次來襲，我們的身體是否也在不知不覺中加快了時間的腳步？

It's another Listener Mail episode of High on Home Grown, and this week we've got questions covering everything from drying cannabis in extreme desert conditions to running a perpetual grow in two narrow tents, with plenty of completely unrelated nonsense thrown in for good measure! Desert MK brings us not one but two questions this week. First up, we tackle the nightmare of trying to dry cannabis when you're dealing with temperatures around 105°F (40°C) and single-digit humidity. With even air-conditioned rooms struggling to get below 75°F, Desert MK asks about the Lotus method, using a refrigerator and paper bags to dry the harvest, and whether there are other alternative drying and curing methods worth considering. Could this be the perfect excuse for another Grow Guide? Then Desert MK has another question, this time about VPD. If all the charts say a VPD of 6.5 KPa should be disastrous, how are outdoor plants surviving and thriving in 105-110°F desert conditions? We get into the difference between what the calculators tell us and what plants actually experience, and why simply looking at one number doesn't always tell the whole story. Phil Me Bowls gets us thinking about the munchies. Is there actually a connection between the type of cannabis high you're experiencing and the snacks you choose? Does a more cerebral high send you towards completely different food choices than a heavy body stone? Or are we just looking for an excuse to eat everything in the cupboard? Lobby Lobster brings the chaos with a Shag, Marry, Avoid involving Putin, Trump and Kim Jong Un, before getting back to the important questions. Will we be bringing back another legendary strain list when the Grow Guides return, and if each panel member could breed their own strain and give it a name, what would they call it? SMG is planning a perpetual grow using two narrow tents in a garage, with one tent for veg and one for flower. The question is whether it's possible to connect the two tents using ducting while running both environments from a single extractor fan, and what problems might arise when trying to maintain the right conditions in two separate growing spaces. And finally, Free Nugz gives us another classic panel question: if we were intentionally stranded on a desert island with the other panel members and could bring just two items from home, what would we choose? Because apparently being stranded on an island with this lot wasn't already punishment enough. As always, plenty of growing advice, questionable decisions, strange hypotheticals and panel debates in this week's Listener Mail!

In episode 260 of America Adapts, host Doug Parsons talks with veteran science journalist Miles O'Brien, host of the new PBS series Resolve to Solve with Miles O'Brien. Doug and Miles explore how Phoenix and Sydney, Australia, are confronting extreme heat, from redesigned playgrounds and urban shade to fascinating research on how heat actually affects the human body. Then it's beavers—yes, beavers—and their surprising role in helping Western landscapes hold onto water, restore ecosystems, and provide refuge from wildfire. The conversation expands into a lively discussion about climate journalism: why adaptation remains underreported, the decline of dedicated science reporting, and the challenge of reaching audiences beyond the climate world. Doug and Miles also discuss adaptation as an emerging sector and why we need to invest much more seriously in telling these stories. Transcript of episode available here.

Heat kills more people than any other weather disaster, yet almost no government agency owns the problem. A UCLA researcher explains why that has to change.

A food crisis can become a security crisis.In the second part of my conversation with climate analyst David Spratt, we look at what happens when climate disruption, extreme heat, food insecurity and geopolitical tensions begin to interact.The Indo-Pacific is particularly vulnerable. Australia and its neighbours face increasing heat and dryness while the region is already shaped by political and security tensions. David explores how a food and heat crisis could potentially destabilise the wider region — and why governments need to prepare for these risks before they become emergencies.We discuss the need for stronger climate-security intelligence, food stockpiles, resilience, adaptation and disaster preparedness. David also examines the relationship between climate disruption, displacement and political instability, drawing on examples including Syria and the Arab Spring.The conversation also turns to Australia's contradictory climate policy, the vulnerability of Indonesia and the question of whether governments are responding adequately as extreme climate events repeatedly exceed expectations.David's central message is that climate impacts cannot be treated simply as isolated environmental events. They can interact with existing vulnerabilities, creating cascading consequences across food systems, societies and national security.In this episode:• How a food and heat crisis could become a security crisis• Why the Indo-Pacific is particularly vulnerable• Australia, China and a contested Pacific• The need for climate-security intelligence• Why governments need to prepare before crises arrive• Food insecurity, migration and political instability• Lessons from Syria and the Arab Spring• Indonesia's vulnerability to climate disruption• Australia's contradictory climate and energy policy• Why extreme climate events are repeatedly exceeding expectations• Resilience, adaptation and disaster preparedness• An El Niño with no historical analogueDavid Spratt is a climate analyst and researcher with the Australian Security Leaders Climate Group.This conversation explores a plausible risk scenario, not a prediction.Part 1: War, Fertiliser & El Niño: A Recipe for Food Crisis?

The Vuelta a España takes on one of its most extreme days yet as temperatures force organisers to dramatically shorten Stage 15. Originally scheduled to cover 181km from Palma del Río to Córdoba, the stage was reduced to just 110.2km under the race's high-temperature protocol, removing a huge chunk of the route and much of the day's planned climbing. Even with the reduction, the riders were facing temperatures around 40°C, with Matthew Brennan reporting conditions of up to 44°C on the opening climb. Despite the shortened route, the racing was anything but straightforward. The fight for the breakaway was fierce from the start, before the day's escape was gradually whittled down on the climbs. As the peloton fragmented, Wout van Aert launched his own move to join the front group, setting himself up for another chance at victory. Van Aert then had to survive a series of late attacks from his breakaway rivals before beating Thibau Nys in the sprint in Córdoba, with Alessandro Romele taking second. It's Van Aert's second stage win of this Vuelta and his eighth victory of the season.Behind, the GC contenders finished safely together, meaning Enric Mas retains the red jersey with the overall top 10 unchanged. We get into the extreme heat, the decision to shorten the stage, the brutal racing despite the reduced distance, Van Aert's perfectly judged finish and what was another important day for the GC battle. We also hear from Ned Boulting on the ground at Stage 5 of the Men's Lloyds Tour of Britain. Pete Kennaugh and David Millar break down Stage 15 of the Vuelta a España. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This summer, Britain recorded its first ever four consecutive months of 35°C+ heat and according to the Climate Change Committee, the UK isn't ready for it, physically or emotionally. As political pressure mounts in the net zero debate over whether Britain should slow its climate transition, the CCC's chief executive makes the case that affordability and climate action are the same fight, not competing priorities. Ed sits down with Emma Pinchbeck, Chief Executive of the Climate Change Committee (CCC), to find out what preparing for a hotter Britain actually looks like, and why extreme heat has quietly overtaken flooding as the institution's top adaptation concern.They cover:Why extreme heat is now one of the CCC's top adaptation recommendations, with up to 92% of UK homes at risk of overheating by 2050.How solar and battery storage naturally track cooling demand, and why that strengthens the case for air conditioning becoming standard in UK homes.Emma's case for accelerating rather than easing off decarbonisation, including data showing EV- and solar-equipped homes can save up to £1,900 a year on energy costs.Why UK electricity is priced roughly 4x higher than gas, well above the 2:1 ratio in countries that have successfully rolled out heat pumps.Why Emma argues cost-of-living and climate policy are "the same question," not competing priorities.Want to know why UK electricity prices are 4x higher than gas, and how that compares to countries where heat pumps have taken off?

Today's episode of Practical Prepping focuses on staying safe during extreme heat, especially if the air conditioner goes out or you have to be outside. We discuss practical ways to stay cooler and reduce the risk of heat-related problems. Start with hydration. Drink water regularly and avoid too much caffeine or alcohol, which can contribute to dehydration. Use battery-powered fans, handheld fans, or neck fans, and keep extra batteries ready. Cool wet towels, cooling cloths, or damp washcloths placed on the neck, wrists, or forehead can help lower body temperature. Cool showers or baths can also provide relief. Inside the home, use nighttime cooling, cross-ventilation, and fans to move air. Stay on lower floors or in the basement if possible. Close off unused rooms, use ice packs or frozen bottles in front of fans, and avoid heat-generating cooking. Plan cold meals and know where local cooling centers are.Support The Show 1791gunleather.com - Use the discount code "prep15"Practical Prepping Facebook GroupDownload This EpisodeIf you find value in what we do, if you've learned something new, gotten an idea for something you need to do, been entertained, or just like Krista's Southern charm, would you be willing to give back a little?You can do that one of several ways.     Go to our support page               OR     By starting your Amazon shopping from our website? --->  CLICK HERE        (We earn from qualifying Amazon purchases)Contact us:Practical PreppingWebsiteOur Sponsors:Practical Prepping BooksProof Minimalist Wallets  (Discount code PREPPER)ProLine Digital Group   Website  Email1791gunleather.com  (Discount code: PREP15) SurfsharkPodcast music written and recorded by Krista LawleyWebsite design and hosting by ProLine Digital Group.Podcasts Copyright 2026, P3 Media Group, LLC, and Practical Prepping Podcast

European cities are scrambling to reinvent urban life as summers get hotter and deadlier. Eric Klinenberg, professor of sociology at New York University and the author of Heat Wave: A Social Autopsy of Disaster in Chicago (University of Chicago Press, 2015) and 2020: One City, Seven People, and the Year Everything Changed (Knopf, 2024), shares his reporting on what cities are doing to adapt to climate change during Western Europe's hottest summer on record--and maybe the coolest yet to come.

Experts say we may now need to spend more on cooling our homes than heating them because of climate change. In fact, the International Energy Agency thinks the equivalent of 10 new air conditioners every second will be installed for the next 30 years! This surge in air con will put strain on the world's electricity grids, which are still mostly powered by fossil fuels. The units also pump heat into the streets outside our homes – making cities feel even hotter when we step outside. But there are alternative options – like redesigning houses to include more shading and increase the air flow, or using fans and misting systems. We could also plant more trees or even change the colours of our homes to reflect more sunlight!

For the month of August, we’re highlighting episodes from the 2025-2026 season of Energy Policy Now. We’ll be back with new content, and a new season, on September the 8th. An economic sociologist discusses the growing heat dangers facing last-mile delivery drivers, and why federal protections remain stalled. --- E-commerce has transformed the way goods move through the American economy, driving unprecedented growth in parcel deliveries and intensifying competition among major carriers and the U.S. Postal Service. Yet this push for speed and volume now unfolds amid longer, more intense heat waves, exposing the nation’s roughly 1.5 million delivery drivers to climate-driven temperature extremes that pose growing risks on their routes. In this episode, economic sociologist and Kleinman Center faculty fellow Steve Viscelli discusses how rising heat intersects with the structure of the delivery industry. He describes the job conditions that can leave drivers vulnerable, from demanding routes to the use of monitoring technologies that encourage workers to stay on pace even when temperatures climb. Viscelli looks at the policy landscape that shapes these conditions, explains why federal heat protections for workers have been slow to materialize, and how this reality affects drivers’ day-to-day experience. He also points to steps some states are taking to set their own standards to address hotter and more demanding delivery seasons. Steve Viscelli is an economic and political sociologist at the University of Pennsylvania and a faculty fellow with the Kleinman Center for Energy Policy.

At one point this year, the 50 hottest cities on the planet were all in one country: India. The average peak temperature in those cities was 112 F. India is one of the most climate vulnerable countries in the world, and weather disasters, such as heat waves, have become more extreme and more common in recent years.  So how is this extreme heat affecting people in India? And what needs to change to keep people safe? Flora speaks with Gulrez Azhar, a physician and researcher who has spent much of his career studying the health impacts of heat waves in India.   Guest: Dr. Gulrez Azhar is a physician and researcher studying the health impacts of heat waves in India.  Other episodes you may enjoy: The Alarming Impacts Of Extreme Heat Extreme Heat Is Making Learning—And Teaching—More Difficult Transcripts for each episode are available within 1-3 days at sciencefriday.com.

Extreme heatwaves are becoming more frequent across the globe, not only in countries used to cooler climates, but also in those already familiar with significantly hotter temperatures. Intense heat can have an impact on the human body, from heat stroke to dehydration to skin damage. Economies can suffer as drought conditions impact farming communities. Built up urban areas can exacerbate the temperatures caused by heatwaves. And it can further expose already existing inequalities in society. There is advice out there on how to protect ourselves. There are tried and tested models of sustainable farming. Some urban spaces are being redesigned to accommodate heat extremes, and some major cities are taking action to address the imbalances caused by extreme heat. But do they all go far enough? On this week's Inquiry we're asking, ‘Can we live with extreme heat?'Contributors: Prof Ollie Jay, director of Heat and Health Research Centre, University of Sydney, Australia Lindiwe Majele Sibanda, animal scientist, chairperson of the Council of the National University of Science & Technology, Zimbabwe Winston Chow, co-chair, IPPC Working Group II, professor of urban climate, Singapore Management University Diana Liverman, professor of geography, University of Arizona, Tuscon, USA(Photo: Two people walking with blue umbrellas to protect themselves from the sun in front of the Colosseum in Rome, Italy.

Jeremy Zakis reports meteorologists predict a record-breaking Super El Niño, which is expected to cause extreme heat and unpredictable drought patterns globally. Currently, Sydney's winter is unusually cold and dry, causing physical discomfort for residents. This lack of rainfall threatens the Warragamba Dam supply and points toward a dangerous, early fire season starting in September. This irregular "Godzilla" climate pattern deviates sharply from the typical mild, wet Australian winters usually experienced. (1)

Extreme heat isn't just an inconvenience. It's a growing public health threat.More than 40 million people across the U.S. have remained under heat alerts this month. Heat remains the deadliest extreme weather event in the United States. At least 44 people have died as a result of July heatwaves. And in Europe, heatwaves killed more than 10,000 people in June, according to health data published this month.Climate change is making heatwaves hotter and more frequent. And high temps aren't just being reported in daytime. Nighttime temperatures are higher than ever. And scientists say that's raising the risk of heat exhaustion and heatstroke – and taking away crucial time for you and the planet to recover.What do you need to know about the effects of heat on your health? And how you can stay safe?Find more of our programs online.
