They actually said this would happen.
And yet, we go directly to our graves.
It seems we want to be dead.

It's a prisoner's dilemma; you'll be dead even faster if you're the first to fight back.
Look to the people who said this. They are calling for revolution, I think we have to start seriously organizing for it this time.
I was talking about scientists saying that climate change will heat up the planet.
Scientists told us long ago that we need to cut fossil fuels or the planet would heat up. And now it has.
a lot of them are pointing to the field of sociology for solutions now
Yeah, let's burn some more rain forest and see whether it helps.
It definitely doesn't help but it's not the reason either
What is extremely sad is that Brazil has relatively very low emission and consumption rates
The rich dicks around, the poor pays the price
Per capital sucks for these stats but the rainforest isn’t about contributing CO2 it’s about capturing it
Bloody Africa, not providing any data.
And who knows what Greenland's up too 🤨
Burn forest, plant fields, too hot for fields, .. ., no profits!

Still uses F first

Royal Society fellow Daniel Fahrenheit consents to the use of his preluding temperature scale.
Fucking Murika making shit harder for everyone
Yeah like I don't know how many swimming pools worth of heat it is
What the fuck? I didn’t realize Brazil was going full oven mode
That can be as low as 34C, with 90% humidity. I'm not trying to make it less of a problem, just trying to tune the clickbait down from 11.
Fuck humidity though. I can't stand it.
Coming from a place that sees -40c to +40c almost every year, I can confirm this is not clickbait
Shit I worked with a guy from Oklahoma and mid August we were working near Toronto (Ontario) and he couldn't take the heat and it was only 30 without the humidity.
That shit ain't no joke
As someone who feels 34 is as hot as I can handle it and it only qualifies if there is a fuckton of humidity Ill take the bait.
All hail market capitalism!
Turns out muh free market IS the solution to all human crises.
Can't have human crises without humans, after all.
Thanks for the comment. It said everything I think and I won't have to rewrite the same thing.
Take shade under some trees. Oh wait...
In all seriousness people living near the equator are fuked. Once they start trying to migrate, everyone else will be fuked, if they haven't already been fuked by a massive hurricane or rising sealevels.
When India/China run out of water from the mountains it is going to be really fun
Human blood should start cooking at 60°C if I remember well.
How the fuck did this article go from heat in Brazil to long covid research without any fucking bridge 🥲
I mean, I somewhat agree with the points its making and I'm heavily doubting the validity. When someone is not willing to further their own confirmation bias you really need to start asking questions.
