There is a thing known as “wet bulb temperature.”  This shows that parts of the tropics will become uninhabitable as the global temperature keeps rising.

Tropics and hot and humid already. Higher temperature means more evaporation from the oceans—so the tropics will become hotter and hotter and and more and more humid.

You might think—I will move to higher latitudes. No help there either. Areas at high latitudes have long summer days. Increasingly these will become long unbearably hot summer days. Bismarck in North Dakota, about as far north as you can get in the continental US, had 106°F days this summer.

If you don’t like abortions ignore them like you do school shootings.

A nice vision of the future:

I don’t engage in warnings of cataclysmic events. Just the steady rise in temperatures is bad enough but thought this warranted posting.

On August 14, 2021, rain was observed at the highest point on the Greenland Ice Sheet for several hours, and air temperatures remained above freezing for about nine hours. This was the third time in less than a decade, and the latest date in the year on record, that the National Science Foundation’s Summit Station had above-freezing temperatures and wet snow. There is no previous report of rainfall at this location (72.58°N 38.46°W), which reaches 3,216 meters (10,551 feet) in elevation.

I remind members that the Milankovitch Cycle SHOULD be making the Arctic Circle COLDER!

Melting ice, of course, translates into sea level rise. This has accelerated in the last few decades and not much more warming will be needed for another acceleration of sea levels.

Poor petal. What happens at 100% humidity? It even occurs at today's levels. Wink

Wow. So what is the highest temperature for Bismarck? July - 114F? August - 109F

or perhaps you prefer wiki?

"The highest temperature ever recorded in Bismarck was 114 °F (46 °C), on July 6, 1936.[4] The temperature has reached or exceeded 110 °F (43.3 °C) in Bismarck a total of five times in recorded weather history. Two of those occasions were in the same five-year period: 111 °F (43.9 °C) in June 2002, and 112 °F (44.4 °C) in July 2006. "
