Temperatures above 50C used to be a rarity confined to two or three global hotspots, but the World Meteorological Organization noted that at least 10 countries have reported this level of searing heat in the past year: the US, Mexico, Morocco, Algeria, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Iran, Pakistan, India and China.
In Iran, the heat index – a measure that also includes humidity – has come perilously close to 60C, far above the level considered safe for humans.
Heatwaves are now commonplace elsewhere, killing the most vulnerable, worsening inequality and threatening the wellbeing of future generations. Unicef calculates a quarter of the world’s children are already exposed to frequent heatwaves, and this will rise to almost 100% by mid-century.
Oh ffs We are literally the most likely species to survive any of that.
Bacteria, viruses, insects all way more likely to survive.
The bigger and more complex generally means more likely to run out of something.
Patience, mostly.
“Ignorance” is not “patience”, you have the former, not the latter.
No, we aren’t

Check the post history of the person you’re replying to, they’re pretty blatantly ridiculous.
My general operating principle is that even if this person is engaging in bad faith, there may be other people lurking who want this info or who have similar questions who would be too nervous to comment or ask. So I give info anyway for others.
That’s a very good point! I found your post interesting, myself, so thank you.
well its probably cockroaches and bacterium, or some weird bullshit species that exists.
Humans are famously good at surviving in the desert. That’s why so much of human civilization exists at the center of large land masses in arid climates.
I hope humans are not very survivable, because then we wouldn’t have humans like you around.
