Tech reporters are descending on Cupertino, California, today for Apple\u2019s product launch event, where they\u2019re expecting a first look<\/a> at new iPhones and Apple Watches. They\u2019ll also be hot \u2014 really hot. There\u2019s a suffocating heatwave across the whole state, including in the Bay Area, where temperatures hit all-time highs<\/a>. <\/p>\n

These sorts of extreme heat events are becoming more common because of climate change. The odds of record-breaking heatwaves are far greater now<\/a> than they were a few decades ago. They\u2019ll be even higher in the next few decades. They\u2019re dangerous<\/a>, particularly for the elderly, the very young, and people with health conditions like high blood pressure or asthma. They\u2019re even more dangerous when they\u2019re paired with aging power grids like California\u2019s that struggle<\/a> under the demand for air conditioning, risking blackouts that leave people stuck in the heat. <\/p>\n

There\u2019s a certain dissonance to two of the biggest pieces of news coming out of California today being a new Apple Watch and a historic, life-threatening heatwave. Many tech companies happen to make their homes in Silicon Valley, a part of the country at risk from bigger fires<\/a>, bigger droughts<\/a>, and bigger floods<\/a> as the climate continues to change. <\/p>\n

Apple and other companies have made commitments to fighting climate change, and Apple says the Cupertino campus where today\u2019s event takes place is powered by renewable energy<\/a>. But tech companies, including Apple, are lagging behind on their promises to cut greenhouse gas emissions, according to the 2022 edition of the Corporate Climate Responsibility Monitor.<\/a> <\/p>\n

California seems to have averted the worst-case scenario in this current heatwave \u2014 the strained grid held, and the state avoided large-scale blackouts<\/a>. The heat is starting to subside. But temperatures are still above normal today, and they\u2019ll be felt by everyone at Apple\u2019s event. It\u2019s impossible to ignore. It\u2019s the backdrop to everything now, especially shiny new things: a constant state of climate emergency.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
