    That is a slight exaggeration, but I know here in Australia if you went out in 42C with no sun protection then yeah, you’re not having a good time and it is a risk to life.

      In July 2023 in Phoenix on the 20th and 25th it was 119° F or 48.3° C. Not as much an exaggeration as I would like it to be.

      It’s regularly 79° F to 107° F or 26° C to 41° C in Phoenix in summer. Lately it’s been hotter (past 5 years)

      At those temperatures, dry or wet, it’s still gonna be dangerous.

      Not trying to argue here, but the fact those were both last year should be enough of an indication to our political “leaders” that climate change is a major threat.

        Why not, you coward?! Fite me!

        But, seriously, no one is gonna argue that, here on lemmy, you’re just preaching to the choir.

          Just been burned too many times online. Dealing with libs of tiktok and Matt Walsh is a major pain in the ass.
