Like let them build few of those sci-fi domes and let them keep buying disposable bottled oxygen? I don't get the pessimism. India makes its own rockets. Pakistan has nukes. Why are they supposed to be incapable of holding the nation together on Mars-like Earth?
Tokyo is already hitting 40C/100F at >90% RH during summers. It's already mildly unsurvivable. Nobody cares. Maybe in 10-20 years we'd be wearing spacesuits, but do anyone seriously think the equatorial regions will be uninhabitable and land prices on northern Europe is going to skyrocket???
- asdff 8mo agoThe fact people already live in some of the hottest places in the world today should speak a little to human resiliency.
- vlz 8mo agoWe can live in hot places if the air stays dry, which it usually does or historically did. If the air gets more humid we cannot anymore. > Humans may also experience lethal hyperthermia when the wet bulb temperature is sustained above 35 °C (95 °F) for six hours. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermoregulation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermoregulation
