  1. The only way out of that loop is for energy generation to not emit a bunch of CO2. Solar, wind, hydro, geothermal, nuclear, etc.

  2. It said hundreds of thousands of people died in the heat waves of 2003 and 2010

  3. Staying indoors, air conditioning, drinking cold water, stuff like that. Anything that cools you or reduces the temperature/humidity around you.

  4. Localized hot temperatures are still called weather. A pattern of increasingly common localized hot temperatures is called climate.

  5. And as we all know, every person is you

  6. The good stuff is from their lord and savior Trump

  7. The average humidity in Florida in the summer is 75% to 80%, not 95%.

  8. They aren't in a constant wet bulb state. The highest average humidities are around 85%, and the average temperatures there are around 80°F, with daily highs around 90°F. And that's using data from the last 30 or 40 years, when wet bulb conditions have been more frequent. I assume the people there have also figured out how to mitigate wet bulb conditions. Fans, drinking cold water, etc. You don't have to suffer in a wet bulb scenario but you do need to be prepared. For most Americans and people in other first world countries, it'll probably just be people choosing to stay indoors because it feels terrible outside.

  9.  @matthewstone1362  Because global warming messes with all kinds of weather systems, and "warming" wasn't a broad enough term. The global temperature rising is the main problem. And the climate has always been changing......slowly. The global temperature has gone up 1°C in the last 100 years or so, which is way faster than what natural processes do.

  10. I'm not so sure about the Pacific Northwest anymore lol. I'm near Madison, WI - the milder winters have been nice and the summers aren't horrible. You might want to consider the Upper Midwest.

  11. Your average humidity in the summer is 70%

  12. I'm assuming heat stroke happens at lower temperatures if humidity is high, and wet bulb conditions are just the most likely conditions to cause heat strokes.

  13. 88°F at 95% humidity translates to a humidex of 49°C.

  14. I can't wait for the "You can't make me stay inside!" conservatives who go out in 100°, 95% humidity weather and die just to prove a point.
