but the ice did not freeze this winter.

Antarctic ice has shrunk by 26 times the area of ​​South Korea.
- It is winter in Antarctica now.  Compared to 1981, 260 km2 decreased compared to 2010.  In other words, an area the size of Argentina has disappeared.  It should decrease in summer and increase in winter, but the ice did not freeze this winter.
- Walt Meyer (Professor at the University of Colorado) said, "Something strange is happening."

There are workers working in the 41 degree heat wave.
- It is said that there are times when your head spins while working.  It was 41.5 degrees at the construction site in the scorching sun found by the Hankook Ilbo.
- A reporter from the JoongAng Ilbo who visited the Coupang Logistics Center said that his whole body was wet with sweat after 5 minutes of work.  The room temperature without air conditioning soared to 35 degrees.  Even if there were only 5 boxes on the conveyor belt, the manager came and urged us to do it quickly.
- There is a guideline to take a break of at least 10 minutes per hour and minimize outdoor work between 2 and 5 pm, but it is not an obligation, it is only a recommendation, and since the daily workload is fixed, even if you want to rest, you cannot rest.  In the last 5 years, 152 cases were recognized as industrial accidents due to heat illness.  Of these, 23 died.
- Last June, a worker cleaning a shopping cart in an outdoor parking lot at Costco died of a pulmonary embolism caused by dehydration.  It is said that he left work two days before the accident and said, “Mom, I walked 43,000 steps today.”  It was also controversial that the representative of Costco said, “I have an illness, but I hid it and joined the company.”  So far, there has been no statement or apology.
- This week, there is a forecast that the Tibetan high pressure and the North Pacific high pressure will overlap, forming a heat dome, followed by a heat wave with a humidity of 60 degrees or more.  It is a wet heat wave.  Sweat does not evaporate, making it more difficult to regulate body temperature.
