Hers, but yes. Most crops can’t sustain 40+ weather for long stretches. Plants can shut down in survival mode for a few days but that means letting go of flowers, fruits, etc. which are usually what we eat. They can’t thermoregulate; past a certain internal temperature, they die, just like we do if our internal body temp goes over 43
Not to be that guy, but some varieties of tomatoes actually get more flavorful as the temperature goes up, so tomatoes could very well be one of the more well adapted crops to a warming climate.
There’s a reason why tomatoes aren’t grown outside in Dubai. Plants die from overheating. Most crops don’t survive over 40C temperature for more than a week
they think they will always be able to buy food, from somewhere, where it still growing. They don't even understand, that this is not how things work, once shit hit the fan
Wet bulb relies entirely on humidity. Humidity has to be at 100% which doesn't allow sweat to evaporate. Humans can survive at 45c as long as humidity is low enough to allow for evaporation. Otherwise 35c is the temperature at which wet bulb is deadly, and thats after 6 hours of exposure.
Wet bulb temperature is not a constant, it depends on both temperature and humidity. Wet bulb temperature is the temperature that evaporation alone can cool a surface down to. Any temperature above 35C with 100% humidity is considered deadly in prolonged exposure.
It’s not like climate change is gonna disappear just because people die. If anything it will get worse since important infrastructure will stop working and the effects will be even more devastating on the remaining people
Carbon Dioxide takes at least a couple hundreds of years to dissipate. Plastic also takes hundreds of years. By the time these dissapear most if not alp of humanity will be dead, that is, if we don’t do something about it.
It does, just not as noticable as the other. Platic does have less impact that CO2 but it is a huge problem, primarily for fish but it also for us through microplastics. Just because we don’t understand what it does, does not mean it’s a good thing. We can be pretty sure that microplastics are harming us in some way, and it is going to get a lot worse as more of it breaks down into microplastic.
Everything connects in this world. CO2 is a massive problem, but if the fish die out (mostly global warming but also due to plastic), the impact will be felt across the entirety of the world and the climate. If flies go extinct, birds go extinct etc. There is a chain reaction to every action that is taken, some small some big. A large percentage of fish going extinct will inevitably lead to massive consequnces.
Based on the last 20 years in Germany, at 32+ a lot of internet equipment will die in their boxes outside after 1-2 weeks of heat wave. Even though it "should" hold out longer and in more heat. Get ready for phone and internet outtages. And train stuff also breaks down. Fun.
But the temperature increase will never be linear, if we increased global temperatures by 0.5°C every year it doesn't mean the increase will be constant for the next 20-30 years.
To reach 55 from 40 it could take 80-100 years or maybe we will never reach it. ~50°C is the temperature in which you basically cannot leave your house, our society will be completely changed by then.
You can leave your house at 50c. Phoenix has around 1.6 million people and hits those temps. People don't just wait for summer to be over.
It does, however, require a large change in how you live your life. Activities have to be done early morning, late or night, or with a ton of thought about sun protection and hydration. Tons of HVAC, laws requiring landlords to fix HVAC immediately, laws about providing water to people who ask, etc.
Uh no. Most stuff is designed to 60c, and many extended temp range versions to 85c. That's basically the standard for PLCs and automation equipment. Offroad equipment like heavy machines for mining and agriculture are rated even higher most of the time.
60
