Climate doomism!

[Big Jim P]

Feelings aren't going to matter in terms of survival, if a location is regularly at wet bulb temperature of above 95F. That place is effectively too hot to survive in comfortably. Sweating wouldn't cool someone off in that context. Granted, extreme heat isn't going to kill them instantly, but they have an hour or two at best to find air conditioning or cooling.

How utterly foolish to believe that people will be fine ignoring global warming until it's too late. You're effectively ceding territory to abandonment or civilizational collapse for the few areas which were previously too cold to be comfortable, but will become just as hot as any other, if it is business as usual for long enough.

People can't do everything they need to do indoors, and if a problem isn't at a power plant, someone has to go outside and fix whatever is delivering power to homes and businesses if there is a problem that arises- as they inevitably do.

Humans have adapted to all of earths environments, even places that get considerably hotter than 95 degrees regularly.

Humans have adapted to all of earths environments, even places that get considerably hotter than 95 degrees regularly.

Usually the places with high temperatures have a dry heat that is tolerable, but if there is enough humidity on top of that- this isn't adaptable because sweating won't actual produce any cooling for people outside. Heat waves as they are now- kill lots of people. You'd effectively need to retreat deep underground if you're not going to use air conditioning, which means using a lot of electricity; which means using even more fossil fuels and greenhouse gases if it isn't from nuclear power. Solar and wind usually aren't enough.

The places which already have high humidity, are trending hotter than has previously been the case.
