Humans simply can't survive more than minutes in temperatures above 95F wet bulb temperature. 30 years from now we will start losing land to that.

Of course the GOP will cheer given who is being forced out.

Tunnels and air conditioning. Problem solved. GOP pissed off.

Well, I'm sure if they put the best scientific minds in the Muslim world on this ... OK, I can't even finish that sentence.

So we should all become Morlocks?

The problem is more than just heat. Earth is a complex life-support system with all species playing a part. It's a web of interdependencies. Our primary concern should be maintaining biodiversity and a stable biosphere.

how does a 95F wet bulb compare to a standard well insulated sauna?

The thing about these high wet bulbs is that even at night it is still very hard to function. The high humidity acts to make the night time lows not drop very much.

Sauna is not anything like 100% humidity.
