Its a great question, but the warming effect from heat-trapping gases far outweighs the cooling effect from industrial aerosols. Important questions are still being sorted out Climate scientists are still trying to figure out what exactly made 2023 and 2024 so warm.

A woman pours water over her head to cool off during soaring temperatures in Dhaka, Bangladesh on 11 April 2023. With our children already paying a terrible price for climate change, we must act to protect their future, urges an IPCC scientist. I am writing this as a climate scientist and a mother of two young children.

To get an assessment of the progress thus far, as well as an idea if what has to happen next, I turned to two of my colleagues in the Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS) Climate & Energy Program: Principal Climate Scientist Rachel Licker and Transmission Policy Manager Sam Gomberg. How cool is that?

Extreme heat is not just an abstract notion: if we can’t cool our bodies enough, we’re in danger of neurological failure, organ failure and even death, with the risks highest for children and the elderly. On balance, clouds nearer the stratosphere warm us, whereas low-lying clouds tend to cool us because their greenhouse effect is smaller.

The petitioners hope that disaster declarations can unlock federal funds for short-term relief such as cooling centers, water supplies, emergency air conditioning and air filtration systems, and financial assistance for evacuations. Even better, of course, would be a serious drive toward net-zero greenhouse gas emissions.

They said, depending on how the proceeds of the final regulations are invested, it will not have a negative impact on jobs, but will be a job creator and energy efficiency and renewable energy initiatives will reduce energy costs. It needs to be an informed decision with equal input from climate scientists and economists.

Texas A&M climate scientists Andrew Dessler and Jangho Lee told the AP that last year’s real national annual heat death toll may be more like 11,000–and that it could get much worse. We’re going to look back at 2023 and say, man, that was cool,” Dessler said.
