There I fixed it for you.
I am not hysterical over this scam perpetrated on the world by the globalist fear-mongers.
Only the dimwit liberals are. :-)
What a poorly written article!!!! Un-scientific.
First, it has ASSSUMPTIONS that are ridiculous, and reads as if the assumptions are absolutely expected to occur. The article says the scientific paper “suggests” that IF global temperatures go up by 2 degrees C (and that’s what they’re assuming and counting on readers not to question), then the combined effect of heat and humidity will likely exceed 40 degrees C year after year bla bla bla. The story reads (paraphrasing) IF the global temperature rises by 4 degrees C, then bloody hell breaks out, but IF it’s 5 degrees C, then it’s even worse. Where’s the evidence that global temperature is expected to go up that far, if at all? Why stop at 2 degrees C? Why not 20? Why not 2,000? Oh no, 2,000 degrees C increase in global warming, that might be bad for us! Run for the hills with their shady sustainable forest growth!
Second, it mistakes a CHANGE in temperature expressed in C as an absolute temperature. That is, it says an INCREASE in 4 degrees C causes X, Y, and Z, but it immediately translates absolute 4 degrees C into F degrees (F = C*1.8 + 32). So, yes, 4 degrees C is 39.2 degrees F, but a CHANGE of 4 degrees C (C temp. 2 - C temp. 1) is only 7.2 degrees CHANGE in F temperatures. Example, 37 degrees C (body temp) changing to 41 degrees C (4 degrees increase) is 98.6 degrees F changing to 105.8 degrees F, or 105.8-98.6 = 7.2 degrees. That’s (F2-F1) = (C2-C1)*1.8. But the way the article, and quoting the “scientific” paper, says it, a 4 degree C change equates to a, horrors!, 39 degree change. Of course, 39 degrees increase, and not 7.2 degrees increase, has a more emotional impact on (ignorant) readers, you see, especially us Yanks, who use F.
Third, the story writers couldn’t even be bothered to notice they said the changes would cause both hypothermia (HYPO, early in story) and hyperthermia (HYPER, later in story). Just a typo? Maybe, but an obvious one that should have been caught if anyone writing it were actually THINKING while writing it. And it’s HYPER, just FWIW.
So just more alarmist non-scientific pseudo-religion anti-capitalist garbage thrown out there, at taxpayer’s expense.
The permafrost belt will also recede, making more land available for agriculture.
Hold on, Planet. Al Gore said that when we abuse the earth causing global warming, the oceans would rise. As long as the movie stars live 3 feet from the ocean waves in the Malibu Colony, why should we believe this crap? There has been not one living room window broken, not one grand piano underwater. I’ll wait.

In about 5 billion years, the Sun will turn into a red giant, incinerating Earth.
And just how to they suggest — besides dumping a lot of money into the cause — reducing the heatwaves?
Install huge outdoor air conditioners? That would burn energy and cause exhaust fumes.
Huge fans? Those would kill birds.
Domes over cities? Then how would airplanes get in and out?
It seems that the pattern with the climate change advocates is $$$ goes into the cause and stupid ideas come out.
No problem, everyone just have to open their refrigerator doors. /s
So I guess we fixed that “new ice age” we were facing back in the 70’s.
and deadly heat waves travel everywhere if global warming is checked by men who think they are God..lol
IOW, the climate will, for a short time, be the same as Southern California when the wind happens to blow in from the desert instead of the ocean. I was attending a science conference at the Disneyland Hotel (do NOT ask me what the organizers were thinking). Temp was 120F. I'm in coat and tie, and it didn't feel all that bad. Of course, being from South Louisiana might have helped.
55C = 131F. The highest temp recorded in Death Valley was 134.
So, we'll have Death Valley-like temps on the East Coast. A "hot" day where I live is 90-ish, so these fools would have us believe that high temps will rise over FORTY (40) degrees?
It is to laugh. Go big or go home, I suppose.
Somehow people survive in the Indian sub-continent where 120F temperatures are not uncommon.
The article is wrong,BTW. 55C=131F, I triple checked the math...
Much like the super heat wave sweeping the Eastern US now?
Outstanding, sounds good to me! My New England, fall, winter and spring heating oil bills will plummet to the point of costing me $1.00, I can’t wait. :o)
Heat waves have been killing people for the last two centuries in NYC before Air conditioning. 1896 was BAD! I used to have a listing of other heat waves from this time period. It appears many of the web pages have “disappeared” from the internet.
I can also remember lots of heat waves from my youth. BAD heat waves!

Dr. Egon Spengler: Forty years of darkness! Earthquakes, volcanoes...
Winston Zeddemore: The dead rising from the grave!
Dr. Peter Venkman: Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together... mass hysteria!
