I didn't bring it up. The meme posted by OP did because it's a schizopost implying that the evil lizard people want to genocide the common people to preserve the climate.

Your comment was talking about the fact that humans exhale CO2 as an unfortunate fact. I agree with that in and of itself, but in the context of the post one could definitely get the idea that you're propagating the malthusian and exaggerated assumption that the meme is built on. That's how I interpreted it.

If there's no people exhaling CO2, then who would be left to enjoy the infinitessimally better state of the climate?

Nice schizopost

The CO2 we breathe out is a rounding error compared to the emissions from our fossil fuel use. It's frankly laughable to even compare the two.

Windy.com is a great site and has a layer for forecasted WBT.

Link to the layer

*Wet-bulb globe temperature (WBGT) warnings.

Wet-bulb is a part of a measurement instrument (the wet-bulb thermometer).

Wet-bulb temperature (WBT) is the lowest temperature that can be reached through evapourative cooling in the present ambient temperature and humidity. A high WBT results in your body starting to overheat as sweating looses effectiveness.

WBGT is an index for measuring heat stress in direct sunshine. It takes into account the effects of wind speed and solar radiation.

Here's the map for WBT for that timestamp from windy.com using ECMWF data:

The highest WBT I could find there was around 29°C.

Looked up the coordinates so you don't have to.

A problem of definitions. The word 'liberal' has a whole bunch of meanings depending on who you ask. Someone farther on the left usually uses the term to describe people who claim to support freedoms and rights for everyone, but only as long as they themselves don't have to sacrifice a thing. People who go out to riot and get arrested for it definitely fall outside of that group.

Liberals don't know how to organize precisely because the Democratic party dominates the elections. No need to organize when the organization already exists. All they need to do is to "vote blue no matter who".
