Phoenix could break the record for consecutive days above 110 degrees as a result. The city has been above 110 degrees for 10 consecutive days and could break the record of 19 days next Tuesday.

More than 40 million people are under heat alerts from California to Florida on Monday.

Temperatures around Phoenix will struggle to drop below 90 degrees some nights, which can be deadly for those without air conditioning. Cooler temperatures overnight help to cool our bodies and recover from the heat. With temperatures staying hot overnight, heat stress and heat exhaustion will set in much faster.

The supply chain breakdowns over the last few years made it obvious that logistics are probably going to break in some pretty strange and unpredictable ways. I bet we're a long way off (like, maybe a decade) from legitimately empty grocery stores, but random poo poo is just going to vanish and things are going to get stranger if disappearing variety leads to panic buying and hoarding.

If the treats run out then the only thing left is barbarism. people live and die by what they consume, take that away and they’ll regress into animals. heat + no food = rapid fuckin ape brain takes over. ppl already do mass shootings over culture war bs they got mad about online, just imagine what happens when material conditions start to actually affect them

Yeah "empty" is not where people are going to start to notice. When key crop failures in significant amounts that isn't just going to mean prices going haywire but either due to lack of profitability or orders for inputs going unfulfilled, production lines actually halt for wide swathes of food products - particularly heavily processed prepared stuff that people believe gets made in a factory on the moon that has no connection to the climate.

Each American consumes something like 200 lbs of sweeteners annually right now and corn-based sweeteners are half of that, primarily because of price. So a major corn crop failure wouldn't just mean a price spike on sweeteners, it potentially means everybody in the market fighting for what's left, production lines halting because their usual suppliers can't fulfill orders, and cost shocks driving a lot of marginal producers out of business entirely. I have no doubt Nestle is going to survive that (at least for a while) and they will get KitKats back on shelves but a grocery store in a world without cheap sugar substitutes (even in the short term) is going to look empty because like the entire middle part of the store is filled with products that all use those sweeteners.

I think before that happens maybe most companies just decide not to use sweeteners in their products and have Americans withdrawal off sugar rather than sacrifice profits. Some supply chain issues happened to my favorite brand of chili, Nalley Valley, and they adjusted by watering it down and changing recipe. Still isn’t the same a year later but it’s still the best. I eat 4-6 chili dogs a week sometimes up to 8-10
