Long Refrigeration.

With the planet heating up, refrigeration will be brisk business.

I read somewhere that the is a max temperature (perhaps 50C), at which the life cannot be sustained, because the natural evaporation cooling of the body does not work anymore. Rising temperatures will make some regions uninhabitable.

I’ve read the same about heat but mainly in combination with high humidity places where sweating (evaporative cooling) is much less effective.
