Note though that those limits exist just like the emission limits for WiFi: it was a sane number when it was decided. It's not clear at all that raising the temperature a little more will "kill all life in the rivers". It would probably deserve some research.
- Arodex 4mo agoNo, it isn't a made-up number. We know pretty well when do fishes die en masse, as we have seen it in periods of extreme heat before. The research has been done and is how the limits have been defined.
- palata 4mo agoAre you saying that the limit is set to exactly when fishes die en masse, so if we raise the limit by 0.0001 degree they will actually die en masse? Or did we choose an arbitrary number that is lower than that limit, with some arbitrary margin?
