I'm pretty sure people are already living in places that are too hot for survival without technical aids. For example African deserts. In that light, I am not convinced that this article is more than fearmongering.

It's also just one of countless doomsday scenarios out there.

It's the combination of heat and humidity that's deadly. The desert is hot but dry so you can rely on evaporative cooling but if it's too wet then there is nothing you can do to cool your body.

Still, it is a pretty extreme scenario. And it is nothing new that some places on earth are uninhabitable or have become uninhabitable.

Having experienced the few last summers at 80% humidity and 32oC+, i can say from my experience that the extreme is becoming the norm now. In fact i am enjoying it right now, and it has just rained half an hour ago!

So the area where you live was never hot and humid before?
