>> Climate change means that we will get more lethal heat conditions, for longer and more often. <<
Sadly so.
>> There will soon be parts of the Earth that are uninhabitable by humans (without serious life support) because of this. <<
Long before a place becomes completely uninhabitable, it will become unsafe and unsustainable to live in without reliable life support. We're already seeing that.
>> And the Southern and Mid West US are right in the zone worst affected by this.<<
The farthest along are parts of India and southeast Asia, along with the Middle East. Other hot deserts, including the Saharan belt in Africa and the North American southwest, are likely to follow. Honestly, I'd love to see the Amazon become too steamy for humans to tolerate.
>> And yeah, the Republicans are trying to kill people this way.<<
They're among the strongest opponents of worker safety requirements like shade, water, and cooling areas -- or even rest breaks. Someone ought to tell the fuckwits that you can't milk a dead cow.
