Thank you for the links here. The article about Greece vacationers dying from heat exposure and the explanation of human physiology and the vulnerability of our human brain was especially important. I’ve passed it on to my two adult children for their families. I’m a half mile from the Pacific Ocean so our temps are mostly 60sF. Go 20 miles inland it can easily be 90s to 100s. Escaped the Central Valley twenty years ago. This is no joke. So many are vulnerable
I got a kick out of "extreme heat makes flying harder." Oh boo-hoo, what could possibly be worse? "I can't jump an airplane anymore like people used to hail and cab and do my bit to drive the temperature even higher!" How tragic.
Anyways, really interesting stuff. I had my first experience with feeling nauseated in the heat the other week. I got off light with that warning by the sounds of things. So billions of people will die from the heat, then, in concert with the myriad other critical threats now arising on account of our grotesque human overshoot, on account of being, by the numbers, a plague of large primates. Not just a plague, a plague of heretofore unimaginable scale. A plague to eclipse all plagues. Yes, billions are going to die. How else did we think this would resolve? It's not like we don't know what happens under such circumstances, regardless of species, here on planet earth.
I suspect that people on the waiting end of rescue helicopters from heat stroke, have a less sanguine view of flight difficulties than you or I. Kim Stanley Robinson‘s recent book, “The Ministry for the Future,“ opens with a massive wet bulb event in India. It’s worth reading.
Doubtless they do, and we would too under that circumstance, but there is little to draw of interest from the subjective reporting of things anymore, in my view. Maybe there never was. Notwithstanding that it is all many if not most readers seem to be interested in. Judging by the output of the newsmedia. Someone comes to a demise that hints at being truly fascinating and all they can write about is how devasted the family members feel. You emerge from an avalanche of that sort of emotion sodden shit that never, ever varies in content of course with an appetite for the cold details alone.

Thank you. I'm glad you find this of value. The ethos of this project is "save as many as you can."
