Ok bored now!

Here's a link to another Guardian article:

Boiled Alive - about the effects of excessive heat on the body, about the trend towards warmer summers and the link to global warming, and lots of other interesting information.

It's a bit long though. And also quite Eurocentric in the beginning, so apologies for that. (If you skip to the end there are statistics that cover heatwaves around the world)

Interesting, thanks for linking. It hit 45 this weekend here in LA & being in a flat without an airconditioner and having to walk a lot with heavy packages is ... my icon says it all ;) It's the first time since I've lived here that the heat was so high for such a long time straight - hasn't even been getting cool at night like it used to.

I hope the eventual end of the world is preceded by ice cold water rain storms. Mmmm, freezing cold.
