Oh my god, I thought this was an Onion meme.
2023 too, and not a cherry-picked misquote.
WTF.
Yep. Very much so. Same for cold and high altitudes. Our bodies really are extra badass. Low oxygen- more red blood cells and hemoglobin concentration. Cold- blood thickens.
Fun fact: proffesional distance bikers and runners will often go train for several weeks before a race in high altitudes as a means to increase red blood cell counts without “doping”. All the benefits of cheating but without technically cheating.
Just so we’re on the same page, I wasn’t unsure whether it is possible to acclimatise one’s body to different temperatures but whether this was something someone actually had the gall to write about as a “climate solution”.
Oh. I got ya. Lol
Also, occasionally, athletes just fucking drop dead while doing so. And they’re the healthiest among us.
When I was a kid, I asked a science teacher: “Why don’t humans just evolve to adapt to the ozone layer being gone”
The teacher responded: “That’s not how evolution works…” (and then explained it)
An UNDER-PAID TEACHER can understand that, are these journalists just kids who never paid attention in class?
I mean, evolution kind of might work around the ozone layer being gone. People just need to have children before the skin cancer kills them and that’s totally possible. Might be good if the parents don’t die when the kids are too little.
Evolution really doesn’t care about your personal well-being and won’t help you. It might “evolve” the human race to get children earlier in their teens, because everybody over 30 is dead from skin cancer and microplastics, but maybe the better solution is to use something different in hair spray and fridges.
Let’s see if these experts can build up a tolerance to acute lead poisoning
Or, more topically, exposure to raw sewage.
The craziest thing is this (real) article doesn’t address things like wet bulbs which can be fatal, and no amount of heat tolerance will change that.
So not only is it proof The Washington Post is class traitor garbage, but also that their journalism isn’t even good
no amount of heat tolerance will change that.
Conservatives: “Climate change will be fine. Actually all this extra heat and carbon in the air will be good for the plants. You’ll see.”
Also Conservatives: “MAKE MORE BABIES! ONLY THE FITTEST WILL SURVIVE!”
Also Also Conservatives: “We need to conquer Canada and Greenland for… uh… reasons.”
I’m gonna take a wild guess that the “experts” have air-conditioned homes and workplaces.
Make them live without AC for the entire next summer and let’s see if their “expert” opinion changes.
They were asked these questions by journalists and they answered. Don’t blame scientists for idiot media people.
Scientists can be absolutely the biggest idiots. I worked maintenance in a laboratory and sometimes I was impressed somebody who can genotype plankton could also tie their own shoes.
I used to go on 1-2 hour walks every day, the heat never felt less bad.
That’s cause it keeps getting hotter
excuse me then why does it snow
Step one: undergo a lobotomy
True? Yes, to a point. Climate solution? No.
Truly top tier post
I never would have thought Bezos was a Stalinist…
I’d really like to know what in this image relates to Stalin.
