    Heat stress is estimated to have killed about 61,000 Europeans in 2022. If Western wealth and healthcare can’t keep up with increasing heat then these countries have no chance.

      A wet bulb temp is where the heat and humidity are both so high sweating doesn’t help and it’s very easy to die.

      There.

      Was that so hard?

        Um… Idk was it? Your tone seems overly aggressive, perhaps your worried about climate change, but don’t worry! We’ve still got time to make meaningful changes on an individual level, Despite 70% of ongoing emissions arising from 100 companies. (i saw recently via a cartoon in here) so turn that frown upside down!
