The other unintuitive (at least based on my experience creating an adaptation and resilience plan for Singapore) thing about heat for people is heat injuries don’t rise linearly with temperature. Instead heat injuries spike up when ambient air temperatures go beyond body temperatures

Juice by Tim Winton

Somewhere in Western Australia, a man and a young child in his care arrive at an old mine site. They have been travelling through a landscape devastated by climate change: searing temperatures make it impossible to travel by day. This mine is their best chance of seeking some respite from the weather, but someone has beaten them to it. The man sees he has one chance of survival: to tell his story.

This is the set up for Tim Winton’s blistering new novel, Juice. The narrator is born into a forsaken world, living on a small farm with his hard-bitten mother. Theirs is an existence of subsistence living, their survival dependent on resilience, ingenuity and a fair amount of luck. The climate is volatile, they must contend with lightning storms, flash flooding and heat domes. Although, in the face of this adversity, they are not downtrodden. They’ve come to terms with their fate.

That is until our narrator comes of age and he is shown

It's true - I was focusing more on the idea that there are 100% safe places out there. A lot of my irritation with the idea of fleeing to climate refuges comes from working with Tribes: they're not going anywhere, so they're committed to the hard work of building resilience and reducing emissions.

Diversity IS resilience. We’re more likely to survive in a biodiverse system. (More from Kafui Dzirasa on planetary health / mental health, whose lab studies resilience in the brain and what promotes it)

The mandate for growth at any cost is an unreflexive part of the politician's propaganda. Growth is not a doable long term strategy for resilience and strength, however.

Reducing the tension increases the resilience. A paraphrase of the wonderful Kafui Dzirasa, a neuroscientist talking about the interplay of planetary health and mental health. #ASTC24
