Persian Gulf Temperatures May Be At the Edge of Human Tolerance In 30 Years (arstechnica.com)

An anonymous reader writes: According to a new climate study the Persian Gulf may become so hot and humid in the next 30 years that it will reach the threshold of human survivability. Ars reports: "Existing climate models have shown that a global temperature increase to the threshold of human survivability would be reached in some regions of the globe at a point in the distant future. However, a new paper published by Jeremy Pal and Elfatih Eltahir in Nature Climate Change presents evidence that this deadly combination of heat and humidity increases could occur in the Persian Gulf much earlier than previously anticipated."

I've seen more intense hate coming from supposedly educated people like you

Who presented me as educated?

than i have from southerners as a whole.

HAHAHA.

I think your worldview is skewed by hate to some degree.

Everyone's worldview is skewed. And paradoxically, I hate certain forms of hate, because they are so very stupid and harmful. Racism, for [obvious] example.

Actually the reverse

The Persian gulf may be one of the more livable areas as we are sliding into the next era of global cooling.

After all, global temperatures have not increased now for over two decades... if CO2 (which has been rising) is warming the planet, a flat climate with no increase means the natural progression was actually cooling.
