Yeah actually it's not even so much about the humans. Humans can deal with changing temperatures. Plants (that we eat) cannot.
28 0 Replybjg13 @lemmy.world Wet bulb temp of 95° F is the start of deadly heat for humans. That'd be about 109° @ 50% humidity, or 130° with dry air. I'd say it'll be a crap shoot next year, when El Nino is in full swing, whether we see more crop or human death from the heat. But for a glorious moment, we created a lot of value for the shareholders...
THIS IS FINE!

A recent study suggested that the safe upper limit in wet bulb conditions might be closer to 88F. Link to an article discussing the research

TokenBoomer @lemmy.world Can I ask where you learned that info? I’ve never heard it put that way.

Well a quick search found this...
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wet-bulb_temperature
Basically the air is warmer and wetter so the human body cannot shed heat.
