A new study claims that, by the end of this century, some cities in the Persian Gulf will be uninhabitable by humans, thanks to extreme temperatures up to 170F (76c).
The abstract of the study:
"A human body may be able to adapt to extremes of dry-bulb temperature (commonly referred to as simply temperature) through perspiration and associated evaporative cooling provided that the wet-bulb temperature (a combined measure of temperature and humidity or degree of ‘mugginess’) remains below a threshold of 35 °C. (ref. 1). This threshold defines a limit of survivability for a fit human under well-ventilated outdoor conditions and is lower for most people. We project using an ensemble of high-resolution regional climate model simulations that extremes of wet-bulb temperature in the region around the Arabian Gulf are likely to approach and exceed this critical threshold under the business-as-usual scenario of future greenhouse gas concentrations. Our results expose a specific regional hotspot where climate change, in the absence of significant mitigation, is likely to severely impact human habitability in the future."
According to Wikipedia, the hottest temperature ever recorded was 57c (134F) in Death Valley, in 1913. 76c (170F) might not seem like much of a leap from 57c, but the cities Doha, Abu Dhabi and Bandar Abbas are all coastal cities which experience substantial Summer rainfall.
Summer rainfall and storms are natural air conditioning. When temperatures soar, evaporation, convection and storm activity remove vast amounts of excess heat from the surface and transport the heat straight up to the edge of space. The heat laden water vapour keeps rising until it condenses – the vapour simply punches straight through the bulk of the world’s greenhouse blanket, soaring into the upper reaches of the troposphere, until it finds a height at which it can dump its vast store of heat.
Anyone who has spent time in the tropics, who has seen the towering thunderheads which form in Summer, has experienced this cooling phenomenon in action. The air is always very perceptibly cooler after a major thunderstorm.
Abhu Dhabi, Bandar Abbas and Doha aren’t going to run out of “coolant” – as coastal cities, any evaporation is immediately replaced from the inexhaustible waters of the world’s oceans.
If the world warms, what is surely more likely than implausibly high maximum heatwave temperatures, is that the temperature would stay about the same, but Summer rainfall would increase.
It’s already uninhabitable by my standards. They have a plague there called islam.
They’ll have conquered the West by immigration and breeding by then-— along with whatever murdering is necessary. So they’ll have a lovely environment in which to live. Once they destroy all Western art and churches it will be perfect.
Since they predict searing heat 100 years from now, I can confidently predict it will be just the opposite: snow will fall there.
Prove me wrong.
Well, aren’t the Gaia worshipers always wishing death to the the evil human race as a pox on this earth. You’d think they’d be overjoyed by having an area humans can’t inhabit.
It’s all good...we’ll be dead from eating bacon by then and the Muzzies can just come here.
I really don’t care.
And 2100 is far enough out that if the prophets of heat are wrong they can’t be called on it.
BUild a giant dome over the Persian Gulf area.
Just think of all the jobs created.
Mullah that one over.

Global cooling, 1970s. “Settled science”

“I really don’t care.”
Oh no? Take a wild guess where the “refugees” will be going.........
Promise?
Extrapolation.
Gotta love it.
I remember when Paul Erlich wrote the Population Bomb around 1970. He calculated our reproduction rate, unchecked, would have every square foot of the planet with a person standing on it, in say 500 years.
Consider reproduction rate checked.
Liars.
Breed more camels.
Stop. Stop. Stop. It is time to stop all efforts to save the planet from Global Warming. This is the best news I have heard in 50 years.
