Welp, looks like an airport in Iran just recorded a heat index (i.e., perceived temperature) of 180°F / 82.2°C, which is well into the “red zone” of the chart below. The air temperature of 102°F / 38.9°C combined with a humidity of 85% led to that record-breaking heat index. This is the first time I see a wet-bulb temperature excursion into lethal territory. Wait until this happens in a place like Delhi. We’re just casually speedrunning the Great Filter Source: https://x.com/US_Stormwatch/status/1828905915225125132

I have a question. Let’s consider we have extreme warming and temps increase 1-2 celsius then weather goes crazy more heat and cold waves so most fragile pop dies (let’s say 20%) and fertility rates decrease would that 20% of elder & children death be enough for us to become below the maximum support capacity and weather becomes nice again? OR is the ozone layer hole irreversibly fucked?

@aviationdoctor.eth is right. Even if the entire populations of Africa, India AND South America just die, emissions that impact climate from China, USA and Europe will keep harming the environment. I'm a fatalist, I know but I don't think there's a reverse to this situation. And people in rich countries will just adapt and keep not caring about it. Just stay at home for most of the time, and build enormous shopping centers with trees inside.
