How come literally everyone’s misses the party where they’re getting rid of renewable energy and completely obliterating nature and the climate? It’s not just going to millions of Americans. It’s going to be million and millions everywhere.

You get shot. See also: several journalists.

Most “illegals” aren’t illegal.

- Comment on Why are living beings not being cooked alive constantly at the tekpersatures we are? 2 weeks ago:
Death Valley deaths are caused by heat and the lack of water.
There was one place on earth last year (somewhere in the middle east, iirc) where evaporative cooling was no longer possible and people would have died because the air would have condensed insides their lungs. I don’t think anyone lives there, but there’s will be more and more areas where this will happen thanks to climate change.

I was in Venice at 41C with 90 percent humidity. It was like trying to breathe underwater.

It’s like that here in Germany too. They have a legal lower temperature limit, but otherwise it’s just “if it’s hot you have to give your employees water.”
