As someone currently living in Southwest Florida, let me just say: OH, THE HUMIDITY!
BabyBumbleBee3
And I've noticed a lot of houses in my town have no AC. Fuck.
LincLoud
If only there had been some warning or indication of this /s
SteelTech
What does Bloomberg care? They helped create the problem. Or are they trying to brag? "Look at what our money is doing!"
Nunyajonesinc
Who's going to mention that's where a lot of food is grown......... Well used to be grown
yeahIbreedtreelizards
*heat index, not actual measured temperature.
Nonopicard
You know what I will miss the most? The ability to grow food.
TheAnswerWasAlwaysMoreLube
Food was nice.
vaultdweller0322
Fuuuuuck. Maybe I'll be dead by 2053. It's right in my area. I live in South Carolina
vaultdweller0322
Like my county is on the border of it
SmokyDoggg
Seeing that Dallas is right in that belt...::sweaty yeehaw noises::
AWarningToOthers
How is your power grid holding up?
SmokyDoggg
Still held together by duct tape and shoestring but so far so good. Checked my voter registration at vote.org

I guess that'll take care of the places that vote for people who denied climate change. Life uh finds a way
DingleberryForrest
I'm gonna be mad as fuck in my 60s
RequineCounts
Why is this also largely the bible belt? ?
jobustevens
I live in Iowa and now can expect -30 in the winter and 125 in the summer. Extremes are fun! /s
PrincessBride1
Texas. Snowpocalypse in winter, tornadoes in spring, 106 in summer. Yay.
mercyPandaRunner
So you guys can both "That's not cold, try winter over here, pussy!" and "That's not hot, try summer over here, pussy!" in the comments.
WeCanDoBetter9
Lots of freezing rain there too
TheOneAndOnlyButtStabber
I moved from IA 10 years ago to AZ. . . . . Fml
ArielUnderfoot
Same here. My county has been colored in nicely in both maps. Though I don’t think it’s actually gotten that hot. Hot, but not THAT hot.
ChuckKarma
Don't forget more wildfires AND floods! :-D
sometimesitflies
Oh look. The five seasons.
Lostarchitorture
Throw in a random derecho now, too
CaptainMonkeypants
The right has ruined a lot of things in Iowa. I'm waiting on an Izquierda to stand all those trees back up.
lazyarmadillo
Not to mention the humidity at over 90 June through august
RedTailedHawk
That's what you get for being an Iowan. ?
Shruhgs
I thought being an Iowan was punishment enough!
CreepyPhlox
What will the heat mean for the corn and soybean crops?
anjeer
It means a $25 Big Mac. No amount of subsidies can save this situation.
RoaminGnome47
Im in New England so I feel your pain, maybe not 125° but 100° w/100% humidity is pretty nasty
HalfSong
Me too, and here I was thinking I moved back for a bit colder winters and tolerable summers. Nope
D1RTYPENGU1N
MN: Why did you put that N in front of your ope? lol Also I used to live in IA, move north 1 more state. Almost to the good place.
tymonaSmasher
What building materials cope with this swing
walkingtothemoon
Hello summer construction to fix all the potholes, every.single.year
adiving
Igloos. Build em in winter, have something to drink in summer.
MapleSyrupMafia
Well, being from Canada, we already deal with -30 during winter and close to 100 in summer sometimes. Good insulation deals with both. It>
MapleSyrupMafia
keeps the cold out in the winter and the heat out in the summer. But you still need heating and AC.
cyberimg
Actually, copious amounts of insulation help with both extremes.
debthepleb
This! I moved recently to a very regulated apartment, and despite the heatwave, I was not that miserable and made do with just a fan
PicassoCT
Tunesia had 48° Celsius this year.
Selerox
And?
PicassoCT
Thats very close to becoming uninhabitable if prolonged exposed.
Selerox
Apologies, misinterpreted your reply.
PicassoCT
Oh, i get it now, you thought i wanted to relativism that toasty circle of death starting to form?
Selerox
Yeah, wasn't sure which (hence the question). We're good.
Shaodyn
But we can't possibly do anything about climate change without making corporations lose profit, which is completely unacceptable.
Shaodyn
Guess we'll just have to let the planet burn.
jrabbitmusic
AWarningToOthers
Don't look at the thermometer and you will be OK.
TheAnswerWasAlwaysMoreLube
That was scientists in the 80s and 90s. This is more now.
JonWallace1985
Those are literally the areas fighting against climate action too
xj4low
Not in Texas. Big oil has their hands deep in the pickets of gov here to fondle those balls.
SeeShark
"Fighting against climate action," as in denying science and contributing to climate change.
xj4low
I know. Have you seen the incompitence of Abbott and Cruz? Keep burning oil instead of switching to renewable. State wide power outage.
mycatToastwasafatasshole
Good lord. All those places are super humid, too. People WILL die.
powerrangerpl
51,667° C for the rest of us.
MasterOfEntropy
fuck me, that's Death valley temperatures...
orbitn
TIL parts of the US are expected to become neutron stars
khold90
Not everywhere uses a period as a decimal point. 125F is 51.6667C.
SomeDetroitGuy
In English, though, a decimal point is always a period.
Andamanen
Needs this too, to avoid confusing people when using heat index instead of temperature:
username476
Shh let them lemming.
khold90
Humidity is pure unadulterated evil.
thevortexmaster
Glad I'm not American!/s
PineappleLoopsBroether
We don’t like it any more than you do.
thevortexmaster
I even put the sarcasm tag and it still didn't work hahah
PineappleLoopsBroether
Ohh I get it, you are American, got it… I thought you were just softening the insult.
thevortexmaster
Oh no I'm not American hahaha I was just being sarcastic as the same stuff is happening everywhere but this just shows the USA
PineappleLoopsBroether
Right o
thevortexmaster
Can't believe I actually have to put sarcasm there. It hurts me
DriveByShitting
"Nice I'm safe", I say as I spray my hair spray, roll coal in my diesel, and vote Republican /s
kingrd
Dang hair spray!
trustmeimalimodriver
I don't understand how people don't believe in climate change. Its a natural cyclical phenomenon accelerated by people.
StillNotYouTube
I have two ideas. 1.The concept was initially pushed by environmentalists with ulterior motives and questionable science. So even though...
StillNotYouTube
...it's gone mainstream, they still think everyone pushing the idea is crazy and lying. 2. They simply don't want it to be true.
zxwaffen
Lit; "It's bad for me, so it can't be real."
SomeDetroitGuy
Lots of propaganda from the fossil fuel industry plus Al Gore exaggerated it for profit while living a ridiculously wasteful life.
natabus
Because it threatens vested interests. Everything else flows from that.
natabus

trippingthelightfantastic
IHaveUnpopularOpinions
Funny how the "not in my lifetime" crowd is 11%... Pretty close to the richest 10%
SeeShark
It is almost surely not the relationship there. The people who truly don't think climate change exists are often poor and uneducated.
IHaveUnpopularOpinions
Yeah, could be... An interesting coincidence nevertheless
cyberimg
Well, for starters, the northern passages are now navigable for a part of the year. A pretty solid evidence for "already"
smellsmiketeenspirit
Jeez, those 2% are sure loud on the net.
darkstarmc
The 2% being paid, to be fair
trippingthelightfantastic
Comet260
And those 2% are way over-represented in Congress.
Goosexi
It’s really like 11%+ because there’s many that think it won’t affect them in their lifetime… so who cares.
INeverReadTheTOS
Cool, thanks rich people.
ImNotActuallyEvilAfterAll
If by that you mean practically everyone living in north america, europe, japan etc. then sure.
iCommentTopComments
And masses of people in general. There are just too many of us.
penguinscience101
The amount of people ain't the issue, how we run our society is.
nadorou
Very literally the OPPOSITE of cool.
kingrd
And of course consumerism in general
ButtBot9900
Don't forget the clowns that simp for them.
IdiotSavantTinker
Comet260
I think I despise them more than the rich tapeworms. Bootlicking is pathetic.
Joylove
Ok but hear me out, what if I become a rich multinational corporation one day? Then I’ll be hoisted by my own petard.
Iinajoki360
But they own forest land so it's cool \s
CasualObserver5
They can live anywhere they want
TaintToucher
But maybe if we all recycle and switch to led light bulbs and other lies you've been told to feel guilty and personally responsible
TrueNorthernLights
I'm still angry they took my straws, but kept extra plastic packaging on goods.
SirButcher
If all of us cut back on meat stop using cars everywhere, don't buy new electronics every year, vote for green parties - it would be better.
TheAnswerWasAlwaysMoreLube
Most important thing is the vote. Or activism if you are up for it.
InoffensivePablum
Yes. If every single human being, EVERY human being did this STARTING THIS MINUTE, it could delay the climate crisis by at least a year.
ShrokNil
If we shut down all non essential industry we could do something about it but then who will make oil companies rich?
spinbutton3
Non essential industries...how would people pay for food or medical expenses ...or rent or mortages
alcamar
Not all rich people /s
Gatorjon
Even if we fixed all the issues rich American people cause, Asia would still drive climate change in the wrong direction.
putcleverusernamehere
Are you suggesting West Taiwan isn't a model of environmental stewardship? Say it isn't so.
INeverReadTheTOS
What countries do you think “Asia” are producing for?
Gatorjon
Literally the entire developed world.
lordfwahfnah
And the USA
dgunn11235
It’s everyone’s fault and responsibility to correct - blaming others gets us nowhere, tbh
Rahava
To figure out why things aren't changing one must point out those that get in the way. Blaming is 100% necessary for solving the problem.

All of them manufacture stuff for us. They don't do it for fun. If we stop buying it, concentrate on local, they would bankrupt.
TekDragon
That's some nihilistic bullshit. Fuck the greedy sociopaths, their simps, and non-voting slobs. They get ALL the blame.
macgerdo
Yeah, we all want to live in poverty. We chose this. /s Is it okay to blame our parents for creating a money machine we can't fight anymore?
macgerdo
That way we could still say "fuck the rich for exploiting us"
dontrike
Oh fuck off with that "it's everyone's fault" bullshit when companies and the rich do 70% emissions and most poluting.
armagetz
I like this trope that the companies are just polluting: when they are producting products you buy. So when you fill up a gas guzzler, (1)
armagetz
(2)if not your actions or choices that is sending putting off CO2. No no, that’s that nasty Shell’s fault.
TheLastBootyBender
And at the same time, they are acting against doing things to fix shit so they came keep making money. Stop being stupid.
JustAlex94
What? You drive a prius? That's still half reliant on gas. Gotta go with full electric cars.
Sheldonian
125°F is 51.6° in C... Which is crazy!
Chimponzoo
Keep your Socialsius Units away from my Freedom Units!
BillHubbard
Here is the last man standing. Thinking Americans have any Freedoms. That ship sailed.

Indeed, any use of F as a unit is crazy.

zHurk777
51.6 IS COOL WEATHER !!! - magas.
Selerox
If it's combined with high humidity, it's also verging on not being survivable...
CptCaboose
Anything above your body temp isn't viable. Unless you can cool yourself, it's death
Thorbane
This is the heat index "feels like" temperature that already includes humidity. And I don't think sustained exposure to this is survivable.
Totallyscrewedinaustin
That would be the middle bit of red on the map. Mississippi River valley is gonna be hot shit
BiasDBoy
Most power distribution equipment and wire begins to de-rate (not work as well, lose power output, ampacity, etc.) above 40 degree C.
BiasDBoy
On top of that, increased need and use of AC will overload utilities.
Sheldonian
Oh right! Wonder how people in UAE, Egypt and similar work around that
NotCthulhu
UAE, replace everything over and over. Egypt, no AC or electricity most places.

Power lines underground is my guess
