Warmer weather has made the frigid continent more hospitable to two flowering plants, which are now proliferating.

    Care to elaborate a bit more on the death part? You honestly think it’s going to kill you?

      Yes. As someone on the gulf coast, I fear being without power for multiple hours in the summer one of these coming years, I could suffer heat stroke or actually die.

        If couple hours without electricity is potentially lethal for you, then climate change is the least of your worries.

          There are temperature/humidity ranges that make it impossible for any human to be able to cool themselves off through sweating. If we surpass that point and don’t have AC, all humans experiencing that temperature/humidity will die after a period of time.

          Nobody is safe when the atmosphere itself is lethal to human life.
