Wet Bulb Near 35 C — Heatwave Mass Casualties Strike India Amidst Never-Before-Seen High Temperature

[Toddsterpatriot]

It is to the significant number of folks dying outright from the heat.

I agree.
A coal fired power plant and modern construction with air conditioning would have saved them from the "highest recorded", eh?

Yes, but we cannot cool the world that way.

Yes, but we cannot cool the world that way.

Folks dying from the heat for lack of air conditioning care fuck all about cooling the world.

In some places, wet bulb readings appear to be approaching 35 C — a level of latent heat never endured by humans before fossil fuel burning forced global temperatures to rapidly warm.

Never endured by humans before? LOL!
This is why warmist doomers aren't taken seriously.

He is correct Todd. India has already has mass casualties from wet bulb temps of 33C. If you think you know of higher wetbulb readings, let's see a link.

He is correct Todd.

He is correct that humans in India, or anywhere, have "never endured" temperatures that high before?

If you think you know of higher wetbulb readings

It's never been that hot before wet bulbs were invented? Fascinating.

Well, lets just say that if wet bulbs got any higher = thousands or tens of thousands of people would die during that heatwave. So it is unlikely to have been too much higher in human history.

Modern technology and reliable fossil fuel energy can save many lives. Same as it ever was.

So it is unlikely to have been too much higher in human history.

People die when it gets too hot is your proof that it's never been hotter?
Wow, you sound as dumb as SSDD, when you say stupid shit like that.

There has never been a time in human history before when we had the density of people that we have today. Therefore, there has never been a time when the number of people in danger from a heat wave is what it is today.

Now I won't say that we have surpassed any temperature in human history yet, but before this century is out, we surely will. You see, Homo Sap is only about 200.000 years old as a specie. That means the maximum level of CO2 that humans have seen prior the the last 100 years is 300 ppm. And we have pushed the level to over 400 ppm of CO2, an increase of over 40%, and pushed the level of CH4 to over 1800 ppb, an increase of 250%.

It's true that people who would never have survived starvation or disease without the advances made possible by fossil fuels are more likely to die from heat waves now that they're so densely packed together.

Fossil fuels have not powered human thought. Do you realize how much of current mathematics had been developed before Rome fell?
