All Life May Die in the Persian Gulf States -- Global Warming

[Barry-xlovecam]

By the end of this century, areas of the Persian Gulf could be hit by waves of heat and humidity so severe that simply being outside for several hours could threaten human life, according to a new study published Monday.

I bet the middle east will not be the only place to have such issues. In Phoenix it hit 118 in 2006.

At some point in time we will all be living underground.

Is there any way to expedite this?

I get the joke, but the keyword to remember is : "Global".

Next in this thread: "Think green", "drive EV", "consume less oil", "blah blah blah" (liberal talking points from myself and Crocket). Then, "fight, deny, deny deny" and "Dumfuckshitass" from the usual suspects. Cries of "But, science!" are squished by the hammer of ignorance (or the hammer of truth, depending who you ask_. Toss in some conspiracies and lies for flavour. Finish with "Polar bears and snowballs", and you have another GFY thread on climate change. Winner: No one.

It's getting warmer. That's a fact. Blame it on whatever you want, but it's getting warmer. The ice age is ending. It's not like this is the first time this has happened; It's not like we didn't know this was going to happen.

By the end of the century the oil will have run out and the Arabs will be back to riding camels.

As for global warming, the deniers will be screaming why no one did anything and the pro lobby will be saying I told you so.

And the rest will be leading a lot less comfortable lives.

Good summary, it also applies to the US congress

IMF: Saudi Arabia is in danger of running out of money within five years - Quartz

The Saudis may be out of money before they start to burn up

This is assuming low oil prices for years. All oil producers will be hurting but countries whose main revenues are from oil exports will suffer.

And you will be on the wrong side of the dirt. That famous index finger of yours will turn to dust and blow away. Enjoy!
