I'm just waiting for the first "wet bulb" event.
I'm not sure what else it'll take for people to take climate change seriously, but by then it'll probably be too late...
It won't be too long now. Apparently wet bulb temperatures of ~35°C have already been recorded, but only for a few hours. With the rate of warming we will soon have events that last the ~6 hours it takes to kill a healthy human at these temperatures
