In his sobering piece in New York Magazine, he says that “even within the lifetime of a teenager today .. parts of the Earth will likely become close to uninhabitable, and other parts horrifically inhospitable.”

At 4C, the deadly 2003 European heat wave which killed 2,000 people a day, will be just a normal summer. At 7C of warming, it would be impossible to go outside, especially in the tropics where humidity routinely tops 90 percent:
“In the jungles of Costa Rica, for instance, simply moving around outside would be lethal,” writes Wallace-Wells: “And the effect would be fast: Within a few hours, a human body would be cooked to death from both inside and out.” At 11 or 12C of warming, “more than half the world’s population, as distributed today, would die of direct heat.”

We got a bit of stuff sorted out today. She AMA'd (Against Medical Advice) herself from the hospital this morning at 4:00 am due to incompetent care. She is recovering from her hospital visit, and things look a touch brighter at the Jackalope's tonight. She's still dying, but probably not this weekend... 
Please keep a running list of events and post them. It saves me the trouble. 
I privately pester folks with info. My brother is a fux-bot, low-info denier and all-around idiot - i like to stuff his inbox. I'm just hoping some facts get thru...eventually.
Btw, I like to ask people who stay informed what sort of timeline do they give our species' demise. So, in your opinion how much longer will human remain?
Nothing depresses me like this subject.
