@massdysfunkton In the US, we can look to early periods like 1936, versus 93 trillion years ago. Since we have records, we can see it was very hot across the nation that year, despite few cars or planes in use. This year, Dallas,Texas and 500 other cities in the South, sustained extreme heat conditions lasting weeks that produced temps 15-20F above normal. Ideally, the coming years see a return to more normal patterns. If not, then the country faces some issues. The State of Texas relies on its own grid for power, which was at the breaking point for weeks this summer. I think it is fair to say, without A/C or electricity for a few weeks in 115 F heat, Texas would be in world of hurt.

@AA-vi1cc Got it. My read on worldwide temperature changes is that since 1880, temperatures have been rising .14 F per decade, and after 1970, the pace of increase has moved closer to .32 F per decade. Despite this reality, States like Florida, Texas and Arizona are seeing large increases in their populations. It seems to me, a few States have been spared the searing heatwaves or domes, that are now becoming more common place, such as Minn, Wis and Maine. I assume the rising worldwide heat trends will create migration patterns of large numbers moving to more temperate regions, which will be a whole new set of issues.
