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."

Take it on the bright side, we will finally be able to enjoy a nice bottle of English wine.

Because there is no such thing as 'catastrophic man-made global warming', that's why.

And anyway, Jesus built the pyramids as cooling centers for Middle-Eastern senior citizens.
