I keep wondering when I am going to see in the US what I saw in some very hot climates in the world. Construction going on at night.

Heat is one of the reasons I decided not to stay in the conservation industry. It could be 45°C out and my boss would still have me suit up and march out to spray weeds. I would come home drenched head to toe in sweat and it’s only going to get worse. Outdoor labour jobs need regulations to protect them from unsafe working conditions caused by the environment.

Meanwhile Texas is removing laws that require water breaks for construction workers.

Warehouse work too, last week was brutal. No AC just fans blowing hot and humid air around.

God, I hope so. Something has to give.

Not just heat but smoke, too. Half the summer has been spent under fair to heavy smoke cover where I’m at.
