Climate

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.

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?

We need ASI asap. It sounds absurd, more energy usage, but I think we are past a tipping point. All this assumes our collapsing societal institutions will allow us enough time to do anything.
