I mean, imagine an extreme scenario: imagine it’s 300F every day, all the time.
We would all be finding ways to survive REAL fast, or dying. Things would get actually scifi basically instantly… You saw what happened to the world when an actual global pandemic happened like six years ago, and that was just a sickness that killed like 1-5% of the population and permanently brought down everybody’s iq by 5-15%.
So “what happens when it’s too hot to work?” Society changes REALLY FUCKING FAST in accordance with survival needs.
