    Woohoo wet bulb temps in a heat dome thanks to modern agriculture, looking forward to an eventual news story about thousands dying from heatstroke in the midwest!

      This won't be a dust bowl.

      This time it'll be a steam bowl with lethal wet bulbs killing all of us outside of air conditioning.

    The hottest part of the map in north-central Iowa was once pristine wetlands that had managed to survive destruction by settlers.

    Until literal Nazi prisoners of war helped drain what was left during WW2.

    Huh. Is this a problem in terms of something we have to change for climate change? Or is it a compounding factor that makes the experience of climate change worse that would be fine in the absence of other things like greenhouse gasses?

    I'm not kidding the corn has been boiling me like a sauna. When I go outside my glasses fog up.
