Rising temperatures and the greater likelihood of extreme heat caused by climate change will put the 20% of the labor force that works outside at risk for occupational illnesses and billions in lost wages annually if no action is taken to reduce global-warming emissions.
A study released by the Union of Concerned Scientists finds that between now and 2065, climate change is projected to quadruple outdoor workers’ exposure to hazardous heat conditions.
32 million people work outdoors in industries as diverse as agriculture, construction and delivery services.
Airlines charge you extra for most services and amenities..and now hotels may be heading in the same direction. Some chains are charging more for early checkins, use of the pool or gym, and breakfast.
Hotel owners say the a la carte pricing approach is likely to be a hit over time.
