Extreme heat waves are already here, and they are killing tens of thousands of people. Blasting through 2 degrees Celsius of warming means they’ll happen many times more frequently.
You just have to live somewhere with humidity. It doesn’t get over 100F, it just gets soupier. It’s like living in a hot armpit but at least it doesn’t cook your insides.
Nothing about this comment is accurate. Maybe where you’re at doesn’t get above 100f currently, but it can absolutely go above 100f in other areas. As for the humidity, the higher that is the worse people are at regulating temp because sweating stops doing anything. High enough humidity and the temp doesn’t even need to hit 100f to kill people readily. The best place to handle high heat is somewhere dry and windy because you can keep chugging water and sweating buckets to maximize evaporative cooling
