Climate Change Is Forcing Families Into a New Kind of Indefinite Hell
Matthew Wolfe and The August wildfire that roared through the town of Lahaina in Hawaii burned so hot that some of the dead were effectively cremated, their bones combusting to unidentifiable ash. Other bodies may have been lost in the Pacific Ocean, into which many of those fleeing the inferno were forced to plunge. As of Sept. 22, 97 people have been confirmed dead, but the Maui Police Department still lists 22 people as missing. That's a common pattern in the aftermath of disasters.
The sociology of heat
The headline is familiar: Another hottest summer on record. Across Europe and the UK as well as in India, Pakistan, and Japan, ancient cities became nearly unlivable. Outdoor events were cancelled; subway cars became unbearable furnaces; and airplanes had to be rerouted when asphalt melted on the runways. China reported the worst heat wave in world history, which, combined with a severe drought, dried up the mighty Yangtze River.
La sociología del calor
El titular es familiar: otro de los veranos más calurosos de los que se tiene constancia. En toda Europa y en el Reino Unido, así como en India, Pakistán y Japón, las ciudades se han convertido casi en inhabitables. Se han cancelado eventos al aire libre, los vagones del metro se han vuelto hornos insoportables y los aviones han sido desviados cuando el asfalto se derretía en las pistas.

Sociology and the Climate Crisis
Abstract What would it mean for sociology to make climate change a core disciplinary concern? This article reviews research on a selection of trends brought on by the climate crisis: (a) compounding and cumulative disasters, infrastructure breakdown, and adaptation; (b) intensifying migration and shifting patterns of settlement; and (c) transformations in consumption, labor, and energy.
Climate Change Is Making Cities Sick And We Need To Act
(Shutterstock) Urban Canadians are feeling the impact of climate change. Flooding in Quebec this spring damaged nearly 1,900 homes in 126 municipalities, causing widespread psychological distress. Summer heatwaves are predicted to become more frequent and severe each year, putting more people at risk of injury and death. Vancouver and Toronto are working to manage these risks. Most Canadian cities need to work harder to include climate change in public health planning.

How do we talk about the urgency of climate change without making people tune out? And how do we tell stories that help chart the way out of this emergency?
Climate change can be deadly if you live alone
This article was originally published on The Conversation. Cities around the globe felt record-breaking, red-hot temperatures this July: In the United States, Scotland, Ireland, Norway, Algeria, Georgia, Armenia, Russia, Oman and China, the thermostat reached all-time highs. In the Canadian province of Quebec, a weeklong heat wave was linked to 74 deaths, making it the province’s second deadliest period of extreme heat since the summer of 2010.
Montréal's Heat Wave Was Deadly For Those Living Alone
When temperatures in Montréal spiked, living alone proved to be deadly. After 2010’s heat wave, the city ramped up efforts to contact individuals with underlying health conditions that make them particularly vulnerable to the heat.
Men who live alone are most likely to die during heatwaves

Climate change can be deadly if you live alone
When Montreal cooled off on July 7, journalists and commentators looked for answers. The media first drew comparisons with cities in other provinces, Toronto and Ottawa in particular, where no deaths were recorded in similar temperatures. Public health officials noted that Ontario takes longer to attribute deaths to heat, so these deaths may be reported later. But, almost a month after the heat wave, the Ontario death toll has stayed at zero.

Climate change can be deadly if you live alone
In the Canadian province of Quebec, a weeklong heatwave was linked to 74 deaths, making it the province’s second deadliest period of extreme heat since the summer of 2010. At the peak of the heatwave, on Tuesday, July 3, 2018, Montréal recorded its highest temperature in history (36.6 C) and posted its most extreme midnight combination of heat and humidity. The stifling temperatures continued for most of the week. Quebecers felt the heat.

Canada's cities confront climate change
Urban Canadians are feeling the impact of climate change. Flooding in Quebec this spring damaged nearly 1,900 homes in 126 municipalities, causing widespread psychological distress. Summer heatwaves are predicted to become more frequent and severe each year, putting more people at risk of injury and death. Vancouver and Toronto are working to manage these risks.

The government-led climate change adaptation landscape in Nunavut, Canada
The Canadian Arctic is uniquely sensitive to climate change impacts, including rapidly warming temperatures, sea ice change, and permafrost degradation. Adaptation—including efforts to manage climate change risks, reduce damages, and take advantage of new opportunities—has been identified as a priority for policy action across government levels. However, our understanding of adaptation in the Canadian North is limited: Is adaptation taking place, to what stresses, and what does it look like?
Adaptation to climate change -- how well is Dhaka doing?
A recent article by researchers working at the International Centre for Climate Change and Development in the Tribune explained the challenges Dhaka will face due to climate change. The city has a population of over 18 million residents and continues to grow at an explosive 6.9% yearly rate. Climatic pressures are a major driver of Dhaka’s population growth as rural inhabitants come to the city after facing cyclones or riverbank erosion in the coastal regions.
