Climate change-driven heatwaves threaten millions

Extreme record-breaking heat leads to severe crises across the world.

Already in 2024, from Israel, Palestine, Lebanon, and Syria in the West; to Myanmar, Thailand, Vietnam, China, and the Philippines in the East; large regions of Asia are experiencing temperatures well above 40°C (104°F) for days on end.

The heatwave has been particularly difficult for people living in refugee camps and informal housing, as well as for unhoused people and outdoor workers.

Using the Heat Index Calculator, at that temperature and a relative humidity of 50%, residents see a heat index of 55°C (131°F) - a temperature level humans cannot long survive:

In February, the southern coastal zone of West Africa also experienced abnormal early-season heat. A combination of high temperatures and humid air resulted in average heat index values of about 50°C (122°F) - the danger level, associated with a high risk of heat cramps and heat exhaustion.

Locally, temperatures entered the extreme danger level associated with high risk of heat stroke, with values up to 60°C (140°F):

Even here at Ad Astra's HQ in Kansas, last summer we saw several days with high temperatures of 102°F (39°C) at 57% humidity, resulting in a heat index of 133°F (56°C):

Of course, the major difference in survivability in Kansas versus some of the places suffering extreme heat right now is that air-conditioning abounds here. Those who live somewhere that faces extreme heat but can escape it indoors are a lot more likely to survive, but a person who lives somewhere without such life-saving gear faces not just discomfort, but heat stroke and even death.

This includes unhoused and poor people here in the wealthier parts of the world, who often do not have access to indoor refuge from the heat.

About 15% of US residents live below the poverty line. Many low-wage earners work outside in construction or landscaping, exposed to the ravages of heat. Many do not own an air conditioner, and those who do might need to budget their body's recovery from heat against cost to purchase and run cooling equipment. Because heat stress is cumulative, when they go to work the next day, they’re more likely to suffer from heat illness.

Bad as that is, for those living on the street, heatwaves are merciless killers. Around the country, heat contributes to some 1,500 deaths annually, and advocates estimate about half of those people are homeless. In general, unhoused people are 200 times more likely to die from heat-related causes than sheltered individuals.

For example, in 2022, a record 425 people died from heat in the greater Phoenix metro area. Of the 320 deaths for which the victim’s living situation is known, more than half (178) were homeless. In 2023, Texans experienced the hottest summer since 2011, with an average temperature of 85.3°F (30°C) degrees between June and the end of August. Some cities in Texas experienced more than 40 days of 100°F (38°C) or higher weather. This extreme heat led to 334 heat-related deaths, the highest number in Texas history and twice as many as in 2011.

The Pacific Northwest of Canada and the USA suffered an extreme heat event in June, 2021, during which 619 people died. Many locations broke all-time temperature records by more than 5°C, with a new record-high temperature of 49.6°C (121°F). This is a region ill-suited to such weather, and despite having relatively high wealth compared to much of the world, many homes and businesses there do not have air-conditioning due to a history of much lower temperatures.

Heatwaves are arguably the deadliest type of extreme weather event because of their wide impact. While heatwave death tolls are often underreported, hundreds of deaths from the February heatwave were reported in the affected countries, including Bangladesh, India, Thailand, Myanmar, Cambodia, and the Philippines.

Extreme heat also has a powerful impact on agriculture, causing crop damage and reduced yields. It also impacts education, with holidays having to be extended and schools closing, affecting millions of students - in Delhi, India, schools shut early this week for summer when temperatures soared to 47°C (117°F) at dangerous humidity levels:

At 70°C (157°F !), humans simply cannot function and face imminent death, especially when humidity is high. This is the notion of "heat index," a derivative of "wet-bulb temperature."

Though now mostly calculated using heat and humidity readings, wet-bulb temperature was originally measured by putting a wet cloth over a thermometer and exposing it to the air.

This allowed it to measure how quickly the water evaporated off the cloth, representing sweat evaporating off skin.

The theorized human survival limit has long been 35°C (95°F) wet-bulb temperature, based on 35°C dry heat at 100% humidity - or 46°C (115°F) at 50% humidity. To test this limit, researchers at Pennsylvania State University measured the core temperatures of young, healthy people inside a heat chamber.

They found that participants reached their "critical environmental limit" - when their body could not stop the core temperature from continuing to rise – at 30.6°C wet bulb temperature, well below what was previously theorized. That web-bulb temperature parallels a 47°C (117°F) heat index.

​The team estimates that it takes between 5-7 hours before such conditions reach "really, really dangerous core temperatures."

On March 5, 2024, Hong Kong saw temperatures of 27°C (80°F) with 100% humidity, which results in a heat index of 32.2°C (90°F) - seemingly not so bad until considering it's higher than the critical wet-bulb temperature. Also, if you watch the video, imagine the long-term effects of water accumulating in residences, such as dangerous mold.

We are witnessing the effects of climate change right now, all around the world, and rising temperatures are just the most-obvious (what we used to call "global warming"). Many, many other side-effects of climate change are beginning to plague us or headed our way soon, and will affect us all.

Unfortunately, those most affected - and those being hit the hardest right now - are people most vulnerable to heatwaves. With climate crises increasing in both intensity and frequency, and poverty at dangerous levels, we face a rapidly rising, worldwide crisis.

We must recognize the climate crisis as an international emergency and treat it as such. So much time, creative energy, resources, and life is wasted in war and the pursuit of profit or power - consider how much good could come from re-allocating those resources to ensuring a future for Earthlings, instead.

(Expect to see a "Science into Fiction" workshop on climate change coming soon - SF writers have a particular responsibility to address such important topics of change and global consequence.)

Recent Developments in the Steel Industry

As of early September 2024, the steel industry is experiencing dynamic changes, mainly due to trade disputes, price fluctuations, and labor issues impacting global supply chains. These trends, along with broader economic challenges like inflation, are shaping the steel market's direction.

Trade Disputes Over Coated Steel Imports

A significant development this week involves several U.S. steel mills filing trade petitions against imports of coated steel products from countries like Korea, India, and Turkey. These petitions allege unfair competition due to subsidies and product dumping at lower prices. If successful, it could lead to higher tariffs, reducing steel supply in the U.S. market and increasing prices domestically.

Labor Strikes Impacting U.S. Steel Demand

Labor strikes in the U.S. automotive industry are also affecting steel. As car manufacturers reduce production due to strikes, the steel industry could see a dip in demand. Additionally, this might lead to higher prices for scrap steel, creating more volatility in a supply chain already under pressure.

Global Steel Production Recovery

Despite these issues, global steel production is showing modest recovery, expected to grow by 1.7% in 2024. Much of this growth comes from infrastructure projects in Asia, particularly in China and India. However, trade disputes and inflation could impact this positive trend.

Price Volatility Due to Inflation

Steel prices remain volatile, driven by raw material costs like iron ore and coal, and energy prices, all affected by inflation and geopolitical tensions. As production costs rise, consumers might face increased prices for steel products, particularly in construction and manufacturing sectors.

Fernando Valduga By Fernando Valduga 03/07/2024 - 20:03in Military

In a significant move, the Indian Cabinet Security Committee approved the fifth-generation Advanced Medium Combat Aircraft (AMCA) poaching project to be executed by the Defense Research and Development Organization (DRDO).

With an estimated cost of approximately US$ 2 billion, the project will be carried out by the Aeronautical Development Agency of the Defense Research and Development Organization. The goal is to develop poaching and its associated technologies in collaboration with several public and private sector entities. The plan includes the construction of approximately five prototypes within a period of about five years.

According to sources, the project will involve the production of the prototype by industry players, including the public sector company Hindustan Aeronautics Limited.

AMCA ??

As CCS Chaired by PM Modi Clears India Stealth Fighter Jet Program. The total Program cost would be Rs 15,000 Cr & total 5 Prototype will be built in 5 Years with first Proto Roll out in 3 Year

All the Tech required for it already built & devloped.

— Vivek Singh (@VivekSi85847001) March 7, 2024

The government has actively sought the development of national technologies in the defense sector.

The Ministry of Defense predicts that the fifth-generation aircraft project will create numerous employment opportunities and may result in substantial commercial contracts worth millions of dollars for Indian companies. This initiative is expected to generate large-scale employment opportunities.

Under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the Indian Air Force has significantly strengthened its support for Indian fighter aircraft projects. This is evidenced by the government's acquisition of more than 200 light combat aircraft and the approval of engines for the LCA Mark-2 project.

The introduction of the AMCA into operational functions is expected to begin after 2030. The two initial squads are planned to be equipped with GE-414 engines, while discussions are underway for the co-development of more powerful engines for the subsequent squads.

India is expected to introduce more than 200 of these advanced fifth-generation fighters, which will also contribute to the country's ability to develop future generations of jet fighters in the domestic market.

Contemporary Construction Steel Price: Trends, Factors, and Industry Insights

The construction industry is heavily dependent on steel, one of its most essential materials. The price of steel can influence the overall cost of projects, from small residential builds to large infrastructure projects. Today’s construction steel price is a reflection of a global web of economic factors, from supply chain issues to inflationary pressures. In this article, we will explore the current trends in the construction steel price, examine the main factors driving these changes, and discuss what they mean for the construction industry.

Trends in Construction Steel Price

Steel prices in recent years have shown unprecedented volatility, mainly due to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, followed by a slow recovery with supply chain disruptions, and an increase in demand as economies reopened. As of 2024, construction steel prices remain elevated compared to pre-pandemic levels, though there have been fluctuations throughout the year.

In many regions, including North America, Europe, and Asia, the construction steel price has risen sharply due to increased infrastructure spending. Governments worldwide are initiating large-scale projects, such as bridge and road repairs, affordable housing developments, and renewable energy facilities, all of which require massive amounts of steel. In India, for example, government infrastructure initiatives have pushed steel demand to new highs, while in the United States, initiatives around urban development and high-speed rail have increased steel usage.

Current prices for construction steel range from $700 to $850 per metric ton globally, although regional variances occur. The price in countries like the U.S. or those within the European Union can be slightly higher due to added tariffs, environmental restrictions, and logistical expenses. In Asia, prices are generally a bit lower, though Chinese production policies impact regional costs and have an indirect effect on global rates. Moreover, as the demand for green construction grows, there’s an increasing need for sustainably produced steel, which adds to production costs, and thus, to the overall price of construction steel.

Key Factors Influencing Construction Steel Price

1. Supply Chain and Raw Material Costs

The production of construction steel is heavily reliant on raw materials like iron ore, coking coal, and recycled steel. The price of these materials has a direct impact on the cost of steel, and recent trends in raw material prices have been marked by volatility. Iron ore and coking coal prices have increased due to limited supplies and logistical challenges, pushing steel prices higher.

Supply chain issues have also played a significant role in influencing the construction steel price. From 2020 to early 2023, the pandemic caused substantial delays in global logistics networks, leading to increased shipping and handling costs. Although many supply chain disruptions have been addressed, rising fuel costs and occasional shortages still create logistical challenges, adding additional costs to steel distribution and impacting its price.

2. Economic and Geopolitical Factors

Economic policies, international trade agreements, and geopolitical tensions are also key determinants of construction steel prices. For instance, trade wars or tariffs imposed on steel imports can drive up prices by limiting supply in affected markets. In 2018, the U.S. imposed tariffs on steel imports, which led to a considerable increase in domestic steel prices. This trend is seen worldwide, where trade policies have a direct effect on regional prices for construction steel.

Geopolitical events, such as the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict, also influence steel prices. Both Russia and Ukraine are significant players in the steel and iron ore markets, and the conflict has disrupted production and exports, creating supply shortages in Europe and other regions. This disruption has forced many companies to seek alternative suppliers at higher costs, driving up the global steel price.

Another factor worth noting is inflation. In many regions, inflation has resulted in increased costs for energy, labor, and transportation, all of which impact steel production costs. As producers face higher input costs, these are often passed down the supply chain to consumers, which includes the construction sector. Thus, inflationary pressures contribute to the higher cost of construction steel.

The Impact of Construction Steel Price on the Industry

The elevated cost of construction steel has significant implications for the construction industry. For construction companies, increased steel prices mean higher project costs, which can cut into profit margins or lead to budget overruns. For large-scale public infrastructure projects, rising steel prices can result in delays, as governments and contractors negotiate budget adjustments. For smaller construction projects, higher material costs may cause some developers to delay or even cancel plans until prices stabilize.

Real estate developers are also feeling the impact of higher construction steel prices. Rising material costs can lead to higher property prices, which are then passed on to buyers. This increase in housing and commercial property prices can dampen market demand, as affordability becomes a challenge. Additionally, rising steel prices may discourage some developers from initiating new projects, potentially slowing down economic growth in regions where construction is a key economic driver.

Sustainability goals and environmental regulations further complicate the situation. As the construction industry shifts towards greener practices, demand for “green steel” is rising. Produced through lower-carbon methods, green steel is more expensive, and as it becomes more widely adopted, it could raise the average construction steel price further. This shift to sustainable practices is generally positive, though it creates challenges for developers aiming to meet budgetary constraints.

Conclusion: Navigating the Contemporary Steel Market

In today’s market, construction steel price trends are shaped by a complex array of factors, including supply chain dynamics, raw material costs, global trade policies, and sustainability initiatives. For companies in the construction sector, understanding these influences is crucial for adapting to fluctuating prices and planning effectively. While some factors may be temporary, such as certain geopolitical tensions or short-term inflationary pressures, others, like environmental regulations and the shift to green steel, are likely to have a long-term impact.
