| Bofferbrauer2 said: The fact that there was much life when the earth was 12 degrees hotter should not be considered a proof that we will be fine with rising temperatures, though. Life on the planet is adapted to the conditions for thousands of years now, and that includes us humans. Like the thawing after the last glacial period killed of animals like Mammouths, the speed at which the temperature rises right now will kill a lot of species which just can't adapt fast enough to the changing situations. |
Might I add that with Australia already having 45-50'C (113-122'F) temperatures during summer... People are already suffering and dying during those events? Road Tar is melting, shoes stick to the pavement, you literally get burn blisters on the bottom of your feet.
I couldn't imagine what 57-62'C (134.6-143.6'F) would be like... Let alone the horrific fire conditions it would present on top of some of the already worst fire conditions in the world.
Not to mention the devastation it would cause for the flora and fauna which already struggle in those conditions, for instance Tree's drop limbs when they are stressed which causes tons of issues for safety.
