Extreme Heat conference cancelled due to extreme heat warning
Points and comments are a snapshot, not live.
An extreme heat conference was cancelled due to a red extreme heat warning in London.
The Grantham Research Institute cancelled its 'Extreme Heat' event during London Climate Action Week because of a UK Met Office red extreme heat warning. The event was to announce the Adeline Stuart-Watt Award winner and discuss global extreme heat governance, with partners like the Zurich Climate Resilience Alliance.
What commenters are saying
Commenters noted the ironic cancellation by a climate resilience alliance. Many debated heat tolerance differences, citing UK buildings lack AC, humidity's role, and acclimatization. Some criticized Europe's resistance to AC, while others defended the caution given wet-bulb temperatures. A few saw the situation as darkly humorous.
