As the body tries to cool down, blood vessels widen, redirecting hot blood from the core of your body toward the surface. Even South America, in the throes of winter, saw unbelievable heat: A town in the Chilean Andes topped 100 degrees F — another all-time high. Other animals can sweat a bit, but not like us.

But in New South Wales, this year’s wildfire emissions are off the charts. By any measure, 400 million tons is a significant chunk of heat-trapping gases that will get mixed into the atmosphere, fueling more global warming. These particles reflect sunlight and can trigger temporary cooling at the earth’s surface.

In fact, physics tells us that for every 1 degree Celsius of warming, our atmosphere can hold about seven percent more moisture. Regional cooling due to jetstream disruption.
