    I couldn’t care less how many humans perish due to our own stupidity, gullibility, and selfishness.

    It sucks that other animals suffer and will go extinct as a result of our choices.

      I care about humans perishing due to choices others have made. It’s fucked up to tell poor people “I don’t care you’re dying because you’re of the same species as rich assholes who cause the world to burn”.

      Yes…“over 100” means above that. At high humidity for long periods of time, it doesn’t have to be much above that temperature to kill

        I’ve been to hoover damn where it was 44 Celsius and I loved it

        Shouldn’t these monkeys be used to high temperatures? 37 doesn’t seem that high to me

        Getting into 50s, that’s a different story

          Look up what wet bulb temperatures mean, because no, you don’t love 44° Celsius at high humidity:

          Even heat-adapted people cannot carry out normal outdoor activities past a wet-bulb temperature of 32 °C (90 °F), equivalent to a heat index of 55 °C (131 °F). A reading of 35 °C (95 °F) – equivalent to a heat index of 71 °C (160 °F) – is considered the theoretical human survivability limit for up to six hours of exposure.

              My guy, you’re not some mega special advanced human that can somehow live in higher wet-bulb temperatures than everyone else. You’d die just like me and any other human.

                Lmao… Ok, so I’m wrong about enjoying 40 degrees celcius.

                All you downvoters need to seriously reexamine your lives, it’s sad.

                  You didn’t read properly, I was specifically talking about high humidity. That’s the situation the monkeys who have died were in. Temperatures feel completely different based on the humidity - 35°C at 100% humidity is equivalent to 71°C at 0% humidity.
