Podcasts about extreme heat

Updates on a severe weather outbreak throughout parts of the country as tornadoes overtake the Midwest and heat advisories are issued from South Carolina to Maine. Also, President Trump calls off the next round of strikes on Iran, saying a peace deal may be coming. Plus, with SpaceX going public, Elon Musk becomes the world's first trillionaire. And, Team USA preps for their first World Cup match today when they take on Paraguay in SoFi Stadium.  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

For the first time, all 104 matches at the Men's Football World Cup will be stopped for a mandatory three-minute hydration break, halfway through each half. For the first time, a global audience of billions will watch climate adaptation happening in real-time.This week, Tom Rivett-Carnac, Christiana Figueres and Paul Dickinson look at what a football tournament, a transit scandal, and an oil war have in common.Around a quarter of World Cup matches played over the next few weeks are projected to be played in conditions that exceed recommended heat safety limits - twice the risk of the last US-based World Cup, in 1994. Only three of the sixteen stadiums across the US, Mexico and Canada are climate-controlled. This will be a trial for elite players, who can adapt up to a point, but what does this mean for the parks, cages and school pitches where the ‘beautiful game' actually begins? The Count Us In campaign, Where Football Lives, hopes that this can bring about a conversation: one about how extreme heat will change how we live, and what we love. So, should those three-minute breaks be called what they actually are: extreme heat breaks?And a World Cup falling during a moment of rising fuel prices is exposing more than just the changing climate. When NJ Transit announced return tickets from central New York City to the nearby MetLife Stadium at $150, up from under $15, it laid bare how poorly served the US public is for transportation. The collision of surge pricing and rising pump prices may not be the catalyst anyone planned - but could it help highlight the benefits that a properly funded public transport system could have?Elsewhere, the Iran war and the fragility it has exposed in global fossil fuel supply chains may be doing more to accelerate the clean energy transition than any policy has managed. Two forces are driving it: Chinese manufacturing dominance, and what we're calling ‘American foreign policy chaos'. Neither is acting for climate reasons. But the case for a post-carbon future has never been stronger.None of this looks like the transition we imagined. The question is, are we ready to recognise the moment for change when it arrives, in whatever form it takes? And if change happens, does it matter how we get there?Learn more:

 It’s been nearly five years since a deadly heat dome gripped the Pacific Northwest. Many hundreds of people died — including 69 in Multnomah County alone — from the extreme heat event that sent the temperature soaring to 116 degrees in Portland and broke other temperature records in the region.    As climate change makes extreme heat events more frequent and longer-lasting, a new Portland State University study predicts that heat-related illnesses could double by 2040 across more than 50 of the largest metro areas in the U.S., including Seattle and Portland. The cost of treating heat-related illnesses is also expected to double, according to the study, likely further straining healthcare systems and vulnerable populations.    The study’s authors developed a model integrating multiple variables, including demographic information about age, race and health; climate data; visits to hospitals and emergency rooms for heat-related illnesses; and access to air-conditioning or other cooling infrastructure. The study reveals that cities in the Pacific Northwest could bear an especially high public health burden with their aging populations and lack of cooling infrastructure.   Vivek Shandas is a professor of earth, environment and society at PSU and co-author of the study. He joins us to share more details.

Scorching temperatures are expected at this year's World Cup in the USA, Mexico, and Canada. How will players and fans cope? And how will it affect the action on the pitch? Scientists are concerned about the impact of extreme heat on the biggest sporting event in history. The organisers, FIFA, is introducing mandatory water breaks to keep players cool, but experts say the hot conditions may slow down the game and give an advantage to teams that play more matches in air-conditioned stadiums. There's also concern about the health effects on fans. FIFA has put in place measures such as cooling areas and misting systems, but some say the plans don't go far enough. The Climate Question hosts Graihagh Jackson and Jordan Dunbar chat to Dr Madeleine Orr, Associate Professor of Sports Ecology at the University of Toronto, and BBC Sport Correspondent Katie Gornall. Katie also breaks down the carbon footprint of a World Cup that's been described as one of the most polluting events ever. Got a question or comment?

Send us Fan MailThe bombs started falling on Iran again this week, who retaliated by striking US bases in the Gulf. Israel attacks on Lebanon escalated, threatening UNESCO World Heritage sites, and then a ceasefire was announced, but will Hezbollah stop? Russia scaled up its attacks on Ukraine, with murmurs suggesting internal support in Russia is waning. And on the other side of the world, Pauline Hanson in Australia is moving up the electoral charts, leaving us wondering, really? That's the direction Australia thinks is sensible right now? Extreme heat events continue around the world, with India releasing estimates of excess deaths during heatwaves at 3,400 a day, and up to 30,000 over a five-day heatwave - and that's just India. Weather professor Jeff Berardelli said the forecast strength of this El Niño is nothing short of astonishing, deserving a “Supercalifragilistic expialidocious!” rating. However, later that day, he shared another view with a different data set, suggesting it won't be that catastrophic – we hope so! Meanwhile the results of 60 section 301 investigations are out (we'll explain that), Trump wants to cancel the 250-year celebrations because most of the musicians pulled out, SpaceX's IPO is coming, Europe is disentangling its tech reliance on the US, and that's just a taste of what's been happening this week. Our theme this week is managing yourself and owning your BS, which we think is a pretty important skillset right now, so we are delighted to welcome the Titanium Hipster herself, Cindy Tien. Cindy is a professional speaker on EQ for influence, an executive coach, Certified Speaking Professional (CSP) and she recently launched her new book – InSide, Break Through Your BS to Influence Yourself. We're going to learn why she decided it was time to write her book, her journey of facing up to her own BS, and we'll also learn the most underrated skill we all need so we can manage ourselves. We are excited to learn from Cindy. Please do join us this Friday, as we all prepare to face our own BS, as well as getting an update on the most important news happening in the world. We'll be going live Friday, 5th June 2026, kicking off at 8am UK, 9am EU, 11am UAE, 12.30pm IN, 2pm TH, 3pm SG, 5pm AEST. Streaming across various locations, and no doubt about it, we'd love your support. The Sh*t Show is a Livestream happening every Friday, where Andrea T Edwards, Dr. David Ko, Richard Busellato and Joe Augustin, as well as special guests, discuss the world's most pressing issues across all angles of the polycrisis, working to make sense of the extremely challenging and complex times we are all going through, plus what we can do about it. Help us move the needle so we can change the name of the show to something more genteel when (or if) it is no longer a sh*t show. #TheShitShow #UncommonCourage You can find me Andrea T Edwards | The Digital Conversationalist and Welcome - Uncommon Courage - An Invitation. My book Uncommon Courage, an invitation, is here https://mybook.to/UncommonCourage My book 18 Steps to an All-Star LinkedIn Profile, is here https://mybook.to/18stepstoanallstar

Content WarningThe episode mentions domestic and sexual violence, and online hate in this episode which might be distressing for some listeners. Later on there is a more in-depth discussion of mental illness including suicidal ideation. The presenter announces when the more in-depth discussion begins and provides support service contacts for anyone needing help at the end of the show. Part 2 Exploring Extreme Heat: Mental Health How does heat affect the way we think, feel, and behave? Today on Earth Matters we continue our exploration of the impacts of extreme heat on Australian lives. We look at how hot weather affects physical health and mental health, as well as secondary impacts like increased domestic violence and online hate speech.  We learn of an alarming trend of increased mental health emergency presentations among young people during warm and hot weather and the importance of maintaining mental health care including medications during these times. Guests:  Kellie Caught, Programme Director for Climate and Energy at the Australian Council of Social Service.Dr Cybele Dey, member of Doctors for the Environment Australia and child and adolescent psychiatrist working in the Sydney Children's Hospital Network. Episode #1558: Producer/presenter: Claudia CraigPhoto image: Tatiana Syrikova Crisis numbers and support LIFELINE 13 11 14 1800 RESPECT: 1800 737 732 | or visit1800respect.org.au   First Peoples support: 13YARN: 13 92 76 | 13yarn.org.auYarning Safe'n'Strong: 1800 959 563 Beyond Blue 1300 224 636 | beyondblue.org.au Suicide Call Back Service  1300 659 467 For anyone in immediate danger call Triple Zero 000.   Resources https://www.dea.org.au/how_climate_change_affects_mental_health_in_australia https://www.acoss.org.au/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/Heat-in-Homes-Digital-1.0.pdf DEA Heat Health Fact Sheet:https://assets.nationbuilder.com/docsenvaus/pages/382/attachments/original/1730167589/Heat_Health_Fact_Sheet_DEA_Oct_2024.pdf?1730167589  Missed Part One of the Exploring Extreme Heat series?  Catch up by podcast here: Part One Exploring Extreme Heat.

Send us Fan MailPope Leo's Magnifica Humanitas encyclical was released this week, with AI taking centre stage, but it wasn't just this document that discussed AI, in the US - due to protests against AI, mainly datacentres - ‘Anti-Tech Extremism' is now a target for law enforcement, and of course, the bombs started to fall again on Iran. In case you've been living under a rock, Europe's heatwave took centre stage in the world's news, which unleashed climate deniers across social media, meanwhile - not gaining anywhere near the level of attention - India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Vietnam and beyond, are seeing extreme wet bulb temperatures creeping towards 50°C, with grids straining to keep citizens cool, especially during an energy crisis. We saw the first Enhanced Games break one record (just), the backlash against Ferrari's first EV, Alberta has decided to move ahead with plans for independence from Canada, more than 90 people died in a coal mine explosion in China, and at least 500 children have died of measles in Bangladesh. In Saudi Arabia, the Hajj goes ahead with extreme heat a massive risk, apparently 1.2 billion people are living with mental disorders globally, scientists are screaming the alarm as Thwaites (aka the Doomsday Glacier) is facing imminent collapse, and of course, Ebola is raging and experts are becoming increasingly concerned. It's been a big week! Our theme this week is looking into what it's like working as a humanitarian today, as the multiple crisis pile up, the funding shrinks, and extreme weather events ripple across the world. We will discuss the state of the humanitarian field today, the biggest concerns, the reality of funding cuts on the ground, the Ebola situation as its unfolding, preparation (or not) for the forthcoming Super El Niño, and how you can work in this field and keep your faith in extremely challenging times. To help us understand the state of the humanitarian field, we are delighted to welcome Nicola Upham, who is director of humanitarian strategy and delivery for Save the Children, but she is not speaking on behalf of Save the Children, she is speaking as a leader in the field. Nicola has been working for humanitarian organizations for nearly two decades, and prior to this worked in recruitment and even had a stint at Coca-Cola in sales. She's seen it all across her career, and we're so grateful for the opportunity for a birds-eye-view into the humanitarian profession, from a person doing the hard work supporting the most vulnerable. Please do join us for this unique opportunity, especially as Nicola is really busy right now, dealing with the world's crisis. It's all happening this Friday, 29th May 2026, and the livestream kicks off at 8am UK, 9am EU, 11am UAE, 12.30pm IN, 2pm TH, 3pm SG, 5pm AEST.

As the province sits under a heat wave, cities are now grappling with the worsening homelessness and overdose crisis in our major cities and keeping our most vulnerable community members safe. Pamela Goulden-McLeod, Saskatoon Emergency Management Organization (EMO), joins the show to talk about how Saskatoon is responding during the extreme heat and growing social pressures.

Health Affairs Publishing's Rob Lott speaks to Jeff Romine of Carelon Research about his recent paper exploring new research on how extreme heat affects health care use and costs, finding consistent increases in emergency department visits and some hospitalizations, but little change in outpatient care.

Send us Fan MailWe went from Hantavirus to the Ebola virus this week, with the rare Bundibugyo strain unleashed in Africa. The WHO have declared a global health emergency, as the scale and speed of its emergence alarms experts. Meanwhile, the details of the US/China visit are emerging, while Trump returned to a country in chaos with shocking poll numbers and escalating inflation, Taiwan reaffirms its independence, and Iran was threatened (again) by Trump and then it was called off (again), as well as other shenanigans coming out of the Whitehouse. No doubt, the global economy continues to be erratic, and, as a side note, if you're thinking of ballmaxxing, you might want to think again. On the other end of the world, scientists are alarmed as the Thwaites Glacier (aka the Doomsday Glacier) starts to break apart rapidly, the WHO is being asked to call the climate crisis a global health emergency, Greenland ice melt has surged sixfold and scientists are alarmed, the insect apocalypse has been linked to malnutrition and stunting in Nepal, there are 170 trillion (at a minimum) pieces of plastic in the world's oceans, and our rivers are becoming depleted of oxygen. Yeah, a lot going on here. To help us dig into our theme of DEI in a post-woke world, we are so happy to welcome Zsuzsanna Tungli Ph.D. Zsuzsanna has been a force in global leadership development for more than three decades, and she focuses on developing and utilising cross-cultural competence for a more harmonious and effective world, accelerating the journey towards gender equality and supporting organisations to develop (even) more inclusive and responsible leaders and individuals. Author of The Culture Key, and managing partner of Developing Global Leaders Asia, it's hard to find someone more at the leading edge - and impacted by - the global setback on DEI in the business world. So come and join us as we step back and look at where we're headed from an economic perspective, this Friday, 22nd May 2026. The livestream kicks off at 8am UK, 9am EU, 11am UAE, 12.30pm IN, 2pm TH, 3pm SG, 5pm AEST.

If you think heat exhaustion only happens to hikers in Death Valley or people running ultramarathons in the desert… think again. This week on the Fit Girl Magic Podcast, I'm sitting down with Shannon from the American Red Cross to talk about something a lot of us completely underestimate: HEAT. And listen… as women over 40, our bodies don't always regulate temperature the same way they used to. Add hormones, medications, humidity, dehydration, caffeine, stubbornness ("I'm fine!"), and that one friend still jogging at noon in 97 degrees… and things can go sideways fast. We're breaking down: ▶️ The difference between heat cramps, heat exhaustion, and heat stroke ▶️ How much water you actually need before and during workouts ▶️ Why humidity feels like running through soup ▶️ Whether electrolytes are worth the hype ▶️ The safest times to work out in the summer ▶️ How cities are literally trying to cool themselves down ▶️ The warning signs your body is overheating before it becomes dangerous We also talk about: • Why "more sweat = better workout" is mostly diet culture nonsense • Why your giant iced coffee is NOT hydration • Why your body at 45 isn't the same body you had at 25 • And how to stop treating heat like it's "not that serious" Your body can do amazing things… but not when it's dehydrated and angry. This episode is basically your official permission slip to: ✔️ Carry the giant emotional support water bottle ✔️ Stop proving yourself in 95-degree weather Because no one gets a medal for overheating in a parking lot fitness class. Grab your water bottle, your electrolytes, and maybe a cooling towel if you're fancy… and let's survive summer like hydrated queens. Resources Mentioned: American Red Cross Heat Check Hydration + heat safety tips from the Red Cross And if you have that one friend who insists "it's not THAT hot" while running at high noon… Send her this episode immediately.

Send us Fan MailPresidents' Xi and Trump are meeting in China right now, with experts predicting it will shape relations between the two great nations for at least the next decade. Meanwhile, the Strait of Hormuz remains in a stalemate, gunshots were heard in the Philippines Senate as a senator wanted by the International Criminal Court (ICC) sought refuge, Sir Keir Starmer continues to fight for his life, with the question being asked – is the media responsible? and there's a new term – the sad wives of AI. In the meantime, our seas are rising rapidly with scientists struggling to understand why, META thinks users should be responsible for behaviour when it comes to its smart glasses, Trump abandons his Gold Coast Tower ambitions because the Trump brand is toxic in Australia, popularity polls in the US are showing Trump falling off a cliff at home as consumer prices skyrocket, and datacentres are draining water and cutting off energy in regions around the world. The backdrop to all of this is the global economy. It's roiling in every direction, with doom and gloom the dominant narrative right now, with more experts finally talking about the cumulative impacts of both the war in Iran, and the forthcoming El Niño, which is expected to amplify the current crisis over the longer term. That doesn't sound good, so how do we make sense of it? This week we are delighted to welcome Marco Jean Aboav, PhD, to help us understand where we are and what's happening. Marco has spent more than 15 years in research, portfolio management, and building fintech infrastructure for public capital markets. He is the co-founder of Etna Research, an AI lab for financial services, who help institutional clients and asset owners in their quest for performance on long-only and absolute return mandates across equity, macro and crypto.

Send us Fan MailWe've all learned about the Hantavirus this week, with a cruise ship struck and at least three people dead, harkening back to the days of the pandemic. War is still up in the air, with the possibility of peace in Iran, although it's hard to know if you're only following President Trump's Truth Social posts. Can someone take his phone off him? Meanwhile, the stock markets are up and down, with energy and food experts screaming disaster is on the doorstep, but you wouldn't believe that if you only followed Wall Street, right? In Karachi, Pakistan, at least 10 people have died of heatstroke, while India continues to experience shocking temperatures, and finally, the great man, Sir David Attenborough turns 100 this week. We'll be discussing all of that and more, but first, we're going to look at the state of the insurance industry and what the actuaries are saying. We'll discuss this within the context of the Nine Planetary Boundaries, and assess the current state of the insurance sector, including how far until it collapses, why it will collapse, and what that means to all of us.

Send us Fan MailWe are going to take a different approach this week and re-orient the conversation to the current state of our planet. Yes someone tried to assassinate the US President (and the conspiracy theories are flourishing), yes King Charles is trying to heal the “very special relationship” between the US and UK, yes the war with Iran is at a stalemate and economic impacts growing, along with having a new insurgency erupting in Mali, civilians continuing to be killed in Lebanon, Israel is facing EU anger for buying Ukrainian wheat from the Russians, and the UAE has left OPEC, but… What is going on with our planet and is it more important than all the rest? We're hearing escalating concerns from the scientific community about the forthcoming El Niño (it's either a Super or Godzilla at this point), AMOC is back in the news as a near-term threat, food shortages are expected to escalate from these changes immediately and long term (even if it's not included with food insecurity/inflation impact from the Iranian war, so we can expect a double whammy) and the world's oceans are experiencing record heat ALREADY. Where is this all taking us? We have Oliver Gill (the water man) back with us as co-host this week as Joe can't join us, however, unfortunately, Jan Umsonst, the Earth System Nerd, wasn't able to join us. No problem - an excuse to get him back again soon - but we still covered a lot of topics, from the economic situation today to the state of the planet more broadly. Come and join us as we step back and look at the state of the planet, this Friday, 1st May 2026.

The heat doesn't just make pool work uncomfortable, it changes the job. When the forecast locks in at 105 to 110 degrees, your energy drops, your patience gets thinner, and your risk of mistakes climbs. We break down how to approach extreme summer pool service like a system: protect your body first, then redesign the route and the work so you're not fighting algae, vacuuming forever, or standing in direct sun at the worst time of day. We start with the reality of heat stress for pool technicians: why you can't simply “mentally push through” a heat advisory, and why hydration and sun avoidance are non-negotiable for safety. From there, we get tactical about pool maintenance and algae prevention. Clean filters before peak season, then consider a seasonal water conditioner or algaecide-style charge that funds true summer helpers like PoolRx, borates at roughly 50 ppm, or an optional weekly program using phosphate remover and enzymes. The goal is simple SEO-friendly pool care: clearer water, steadier free chlorine, fewer emergencies, and less time wasted brushing algae in brutal weather. Then we move to route planning strategies that actually work in the field: start as early as possible, eliminate morning slowdowns like gas and supply stops, and build shade into your late-day pools so you get real relief. We also talk about “minimum effective service” during a heat wave, when manual vacuuming and full lab-style testing may not be the best use of time. • heat advisories as a real mental and physical drain• hydration and avoiding direct sun to reduce heat illness risk• stopping algae before it starts to avoid brutal brushing days• cleaning filters before the season for better summer water clarity• adding a seasonal charge for PoolRx or borates as chlorine helpers• using phosphate remover and enzymes as an optional weekly booster• starting at sunrise and removing morning delays• planning stops around shade and using the truck AC to recover• minimizing manual vacuuming during heat waves• using test strips to speed up pooSend us Fan MailSupport the Pool Guy Podcast Show Sponsors!

“Climate change is the biggest health threat of our century, so we need to train clinicians for a future where it will alter disease patterns, the demand on health systems, and how care is delivered,” says Dr. Sandro Demaio, director of the WHO Asia-Pacific Centre for Environment and Health, underscoring the stakes behind the organization's first regionally-focused climate and health strategy. The five-year plan Dr. Demaio is leading aims to help governments in 38 countries with 2.2 billion people manage rising heat, extreme weather, sea-level change, air pollution and food insecurity by adapting health systems, protecting vulnerable populations, and reducing emissions from the healthcare sector itself. In this timely interview with Raise the Line host Michael Carrese, Dr. Demaio draws on his experiences in emergency medicine, global public health, pandemic response and climate policy to argue for an interconnected approach to strengthening systems and preparing a healthcare workforce to meet the heath impacts of growing environmental challenges. This is a great opportunity to learn how climate change is reshaping medicine, public health and the future of care delivery.  Mentioned in this episode: WHO Asia-Pacific Centre for Environment and Health If you like this podcast, please share it on your social channels.
