Extreme Heat
It's a fortnight since I posted my analysis of the Met Office's mid-century temperature projection, and I've been thinking more about it. Apart from immediate human deaths, what are the other consequences of an 'everyone dies' event?

Arctic marine heat waves surge since 1980s, with record event lasting 480 days
In recent years, marine heat waves have been taking an ever-greater toll on the world's oceans and their ecosystems. Amplified by increasing global warming, these events are occurring more frequently and lasting longer. The Arctic is not spared from this trend, as it is warming faster than any other region on our planet. However, due to local processes and conditions, marine heat waves in the Arctic differ fundamentally from those in nonpolar oceans. A recent study led by the Alfred Wegener Ins…
