    People treating each other as fellow human beings, with the same needs, wants, emotions. It's great to see with all the division being encouraged by so called leaders, that people can not only ignore their hate and fear mongering, but work together for each other and our planet.

    This isn’t fighting the heat this is surviving while not tackling the real issue.
    About 100 people in this world own the companies that are responsible for the overwhelming majority of climate emissions.
    Do something about that or accept we won’t be living on the same planet for long. Climat controlled environments will be the only way to live.

    Having grown up on a family farm, I admit I was quite thrown at the start of this where he made a clear distinction between "farmer" and "farm worker" - these would not be considered different things in my upbringing. A difference of scale, location, and culture, I suppose.

    Workers need to organize and unionize to push back against legislation such as a recently passed law in TX that prevents localities from requiring employers to provide regular water breaks for workers to prevent heat stroke.

      And elections.
      _More than 42,000 public-sector workers in Florida have lost their union representation. That's because of a new law that Republican Governor Ron DeSantis signed. This law makes it harder for unions that represent state and local employees to stay in business._ - February 2024

      Actually a study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) found that:
      The average oral temperature for men was about 98.1°F (36.7°C).
      The average oral temperature for women was about 98.4°F (36.9°C).
      On average, women tend to have a slightly higher body temperature than men. This difference is often attributed to hormonal variations, particularly related to the menstrual cycle.
      During the luteal phase (post-ovulation phase) of the menstrual cycle, a woman's body temperature can rise by about 0.5°F (0.3°C) due to increased progesterone levels.

    God loves you and cares for you so that this message reaches you. God is the one who created this large universe and controls it completely. The greatest loss a person loses in this life is that he lives without knowing God who created him and knowing the Messenger of Muhammad, the last of the messengers, and the Islamic religion, the last of the heavenly religions. Great intelligence, before you believe in something or not, is to read it, study it, and understand it well, and after that you have the choice to believe in it or not to believe in it. I advise you to do this now, before you no longer have time to do so. Life is very short. It is just a test, just a passage to eternal life. Great advice to those who... Understands

      I personally derive comfort and hope from what the Bible reveals at Revelation 18:11
      that He, the Great Land Lord over this planet promises to
      "bring to ruin those ruining the earth".
      It shows me that 1) He is very aware of the way mankind has by and large ignored His instructions and guidance as they refuse to submit to Him.
      2) It would get to the point where man's so called "progress" would threaten all life on this planet due to his ignorance and selfishness.
      ( on their own humans do not know how to live on this complex planet successfully).
      3) Man's Creator will Himself step in and do what man cannot- put and end to all the damage done to the earth- beginning with addressing the root cause- getting rid of
      ALL selfish and greedy human institutions that exploit this planet's resources threatening human life as well as all other life forms on earth. That time is rapdily approaching.
