Let's do some Canadian pipeline-wildfire math. The Canadian Energy Center says growing oil exports by 1.5M barrels/day **could** boost GDP by ~31B annually. Meanwhile, wildfire smoke health costs alone - just the health costs, nothing else - averaged 23B/year, past tense. And they're growing fast.

This from 1981 - "Whatever we do, it should be done fairly soon because these climate changes, once set in motion, are irreversible." Family Weekly was a very popular magazine, inserted into the Saturday editions of papers. The warnings were there. Oh well.

“For American farmers, the news is bad. They can expect hot, dry weather in the central and western states. The states of the farm belt will see year after year of sustained drought, with dust bowl conditions

“According to the calculations of the climate experts, the temperature in the Antarctic will rise about eight to ten degrees F, which is enough to melt the West Antarctic ice sheet. The ice could raise the level of the world’s oceans by about 15 feet, flooding 25 percent of Louisiana and Florida and 10 percent of New Jersey.

“...Only one-third of the man-made carbon dioxide in the atmosphere comes from America, but if we could control even that part, we would be able to postpone the heat catastrophe for a few decades - probably sufficient to find another technological fix. Whatever we do, it should be done fairly soon because these climate changes, once set in motion, are irreversible.

34.8ºC at Kew Gardens breaks its May AND June records by OVER 4ºC for its May record set in 1922 and by 0.2ºC for its June record set in 1976. Unprecedented heat for the UK in late May, and likely to be bettered tomorrow. A rounded 35ºC temperature should not happen in May.

Spaghetti plot showing Kew and Kew Gardens temperatures since 1881 with May and June records highlighted at 30.3ºC in 1922 and 34.6ºC in 1976 respectively. 2026 is plotted as a thick red line that nearly exceeds 35ºC with a value of 34.8ºC.
