"A federal judge on Wednesday found the extreme heat in Texas prisons is 'plainly unconstitutional,' but declined to order the state to immediately start installing air conditioning, which could cost billions.
The judge affirmed claims brought by advocates of people incarcerated in the state, where summer heat routinely soars above 100 degrees Fahrenheit (38 degrees Celsius)."
A federal judge has decided not to order temporary air conditioning be installed in all Texas prisons, allowing a lawsuit against the state to move forward while admitting that the problem will be costly to fix.
though wildfires move fast,
tape measures reassure us

ARTMS -- Heat
This YouTube has the entire Lunar Theory concert. I've no idea how long it will remain up.
I've started it here at 36:32, a few seconds before they begin "Heat". Although I miss OT12, I'm glad to see some of the old Loona songs in performance.
I've always liked "Heat"; that much overused kpop term "sultry" fits the song so well.
I find these outfits most appealing.

Buried. #australia ‘s Climate Risk Assessment
“No one is officially telling Australian people that we have officially passed 1.5°C…The question now is, how much below 2°C can we stay?”
#heat #flood #fire #food #shortages
“Most experts are saying we’re actually on track for 2.6-3°C. Now, that is catastrophic in some areas. So, I think it’s recklessly negligent of either major party to fail to properly inform the Australian people of the risk ahead.”
