I assumed he was making a sarcastic response to a probable WUWT interpretation.<br /><br />Or maybe you were replying sarcastically to his remark as well. I see no html {sw} tags so it's hard to tell.<br /><br />As to Pangolin, on more than one occasion I've spent time (a week or more) in the Mojave when the nighttime low was in the upper 80s and the daytime highs were in the mid to upper 1-teens. Humidity was admittedly low. But, while it was quite uncomfortable, I was there by choice and stayed as long as my schedule would allow. We weren't laying in the shade either. And I'm nothing special in the way of heat tolerance.<br /><br />I'm not suggesting things would be hunky dory in any area where this became the norm but life would go on.King of the Roadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06841601144107400103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8524070301101240472.post-30094126177524262912011-07-01T17:55:11.673-07:002011-07-01T17:55:11.673-07:00"An adaptability limit to climate change due ...<a href="http://www.pnas.org/content/early/2010/04/26/0913352107.abstract" rel="nofollow">"An adaptability limit to climate change due to heat stress"</a> S.

Basically, a dew point in excess of body temperature is enough to reliably kill mammals no matter how they behave.<br /><br />But, you might say, so what? People live (quite nicely thank you) in Montreal. They even live in some fashion in Edmonton or Fairbanks or Ulan Bator. Unprotected exposure to the weather there will kill you as well.<br /><br />As for flora and fauna, I guess the world has already decided not to care about those.<br /><br />At some point there will be high fashion air-conditioned suits, I would bet.Michael Tobishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08229460438349093944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8524070301101240472.post-63053023938230202932011-07-01T17:41:52.331-07:002011-07-01T17:41:52.331-07:00I'm not sure it would be possible to survive t...I'm not sure it would be possible to survive these temperatures for 24 hours even in the shade. I live in a place where 107º F is a temperature we might see for perhaps 10-12 hours a year. Sustained temps above 100º are punishing even for those used to them. <br /><br />How many more places on earth will become simply uninhabitable due to extended periods of extreme heat and/or heat and humidity? I guess we get to find out.Pangolinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18369503994505817789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8524070301101240472.post-74512633510194155292011-06-30T18:14:30.615-07:002011-06-30T18:14:30.615-07:00Re.
