"There is a fundamental limit to the body’s coping ability: it is a fixed goalpost.

Research in 2010 demonstrated that a ‘wet-bulb’ temperature of 35 degrees Celsius or higher would make it impossible for humans to exhaust metabolic heat, due to our fixed core body temperature."

A staggeringly high number of humans will die in the run up to this goalpost.
