And where I live it's 110F+ for three months of the year. No one sane is biking or walking anywhere as it's too dangerous. Not everyone lives in some temperate small European city.
- amrocha 2y agoFirst off, you're exaggerating. There is no place on earth that averages 40C for 3 months. Second,I live in Tokyo, where the summer has been miserable with average temperatures of 32C, with regular highs of 36+ with 80% humidity. And yet I walked and biked everywhere and was just fine, and that's true for most of the 40M people that live here as well. Third, it sounds like you live in a place that's not suitable for humans, you should probably move instead of making the planet even hotter for everyone else by living in your steel boxes with AC.

- sseagull 2y ago> First off, you're exaggerating. There is no place on earth that averages 40C for 3 months. I dunno about 3 months exactly, but some areas of India are pretty close. And Delhi has 15-30 million people, depending on how you count https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climate_of_Delhi#Climate_data https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climate_of_Delhi#Climate_data
- amrocha 2y agoThe daily mean pretty much everywhere sits around low 30s because the night temperatures bring it down. That's intense though!
- bradfox2 2y agoI didn't say average, and the highs are higher for many days. It sounds like you've never been in extreme heat, there's a huge difference between 89F and 110+F. More people are moving here than are leaving.
- amrocha 2y agoWhy would I assume you meant the maximum when you didn't specify? And would you mind not being a condescending prick? If you had taken a second to google you would know Tokyo had highs of 40+ this summer. Sounds like you're just trying to make excuses for your awful city.
