Ah, memories of quiet summer days in Western Australia! No emergencies as far as the eye can see. The wind feels like a hair dryer in the face. Ah yes, a summer

  You know, there might be a reason the population density in Western Australia is reportedly 1 person per square kilometer. Or as Population Australia put it: > The state’s capital city is Perth. Perth has an estimated population of over 2.7 million people. > Western Australia is Australia’s largest state. Its total area is 2,529,875 km² which accounts for 33 percent of Australia’s total land mass. > Based on our research Western Australia population will reach 2.879 million by the end of June of 2023. Most of Western Australia, of course, is not Perth. The density outside of Perth is... 0.2 people per square kilometer, using poorly-defined and chronologically mismatched statistics from the wikipedia sidebars. Perth has 80%+ of the people of Western Australia in 0.24% of the space. If we believe Population Australia about the size of Perth, it has more than 97% of the population of Western Australia in 0.3% of the space. I feel strangely comfortable characterizing temperatures that prevent humans from living in a region as "emergency" temperatures.

    The population density of Sydney is 2037 people per square KM according to Wikipedia, it's not uncommon to get days with a temperature of 35-40 degrees and we aren't dropping like flies either. I quite like a nice warm day. Humans live in warmer climates than that and have done since before the invention of air conditioning. You might feel uncomfortable if you're not used to it but you're not going to die if you stay hydrated
