The Heat is Coming-Keep Your Cool Indoors and Out

Nelson discusses the importance of protecting skin from the heat and sun, indoors and out. Everything on this green earth is getting hotter. 2020 tied the planets warmest year ever, joining 18 other record highs set since the turn of the millennium. By 2050, the number of dangerous heat days (a heat index of above 104) across the US is projected to more than double from 20 to 58. For those regularly bearing the brunt of these temperatures, these trends are not to be taken lightly. 11 workers are already seriously injured or killed by heat stress every single day--a number that not only includes outdoor workers, but also those who spend 365 days of the year slogging away in foundries, paper mills and other demanding indoor environments.
