    This is one of those cases where your geological expertise is making you overconfident in areas where you have no knowledge.

    Yes, burn. Were you asleep during this summer’s wildfires? Yes, unbreathable. Did you miss the smoke clouds that made the air toxic for swathes of the country?

    Ever heard of summer? It gets hotter in summer than the average temperature. Thousands already die each year in heatwaves.

    Oh, it didn’t become uninhabitable in the past? What happened to the 8 billion people whose agricultural system depended on plants that can’t grow in high temperatures, and insects that went extinct? That must have happened, otherwise it would be a dumb comparison.
