Even during the day, the suggested cooling benefit from the dominance of evaporative cooling from waterbodies is somewhat misleading. A drawback of evapotranspirative cooling is that it increases atmospheric water vapour (humidity), which is a greenhouse gas (Oke, 1987). This applies to both gre...

Further, most Heat-Health Warning Systems (HHWS) are based on the outdoor climate only, which can lead to a misleading interpretation of the health effects and associated solutions. In order to identify severe heat, six factors need to be taken into account, including air temperature, heat ...
A simple individual-based metric such as mean exposure is potentially misleading due to nonlinear adverse health impacts of summer heat. Evidence suggests that above a moderate threshold damage is an increasing convex function of temperature, i.e., a 1° temperature increase causes more damage at ...
Measuring the heat load imposed on an animal using air temperature (dry bulb temperature; DBT) can be misleading (Mount, 1979, Sparke et al., 2001). A more useful measure is wet bulb temperature (WBT; Mount, 1979, Yousef and Johnson, 1985), which takes humidity into account (Sparke et...
the genes’ known detrimental effects on growth and development29. We hypothesize that the divergent Hsp70 genes inH. mephistothat respond most strongly to elevated temperatures may have been functionally modified to ameliorate these deleterious effects, marking them as important candidates for future ...
Marine heatwaves are discrete, albeit prolonged, episodes of extreme ocean temperatures that are significantly impacting marine ecosystems worldwide. However, there is limited research solely focusing on marine heatwaves and their concomitant effects on ecosystem dynamics in the Southern Ocean, known to ...
Surface temperature measurements (ear canal, mouth, ear drum, armpit and tempus) are not recommended to estimate the core temperature of hospitalized patients because these methods cannot accurately reflect core temperature and may be misleading. Esophageal temperature can best represent cardiac and brain...

Esophageal temperature can best represent cardiac and brain blood temperature and responds...
Really? 98% vs 0.0004% CO2, try Mars, that is a better example, and note the huge difference between day and night temperatures. Before I ever used Venus to make my case, I would admit defeat. That is a totally misleading example. ...
