Good news! In a few decades these temperatures won't be considered "extreme" anymore.

Will get labeled as "nonfatal"

A heat index of 130°F (54°C) is considered unsurvivable for more than a short time outdoors, and some very populated places are disturbingly close

Great stuff! That's how the population will be finally reduced and climate will restore.

This is exactly how I think humanity will play out the climate crisis .... 'let's maintain the economy and wealth of a handful of people, let the majority die, let the population go down and everything will eventually equalize and normalize after millions die off'

So, if you aren't wealthy now ... you'll be dead soon
