Excessive heat is causing significant economic costs and health risks in the United States. If temperatures continue to rise, the US economy could lose $110.2 billion in GDP and 663,000 jobs in the next year alone. By 2050, losses could reach $1.1 trillion and over five million jobs. Extreme heat also leads to health issues, with 2,300 deaths and 120,000 ER visits last year. Businesses can use weather data technology to develop heat risk management strategies. Florida's new law prevents local heat regulations, despite worker deaths. President Biden is taking action to protect workers and families from extreme weather, proposing federal safety standards for excessive heat in the workplace. The Labor Department's proposal would cover 36 million workers and require more breaks, shade, and water. The initiative's future is uncertain if Trump wins a second term. Sustained higher temperatures will have a compounding negative economic impact, reaching $1.1 trillion in GDP and five million jobs lost by 2050. #ClimateChange #HeatWave #EconomicImpact #WorkerSafety...
