I did not read the article. So maybe it covers this. But how is that different to living in New Orleans or Florida or a bunch of South America. It’s 90 with 80% humidity there all the time and people have lived there for hundreds of years without air conditioning.

90 with 80% humidity at 1 bar is a wetbulb temp of 84.6, a good ten degrees off from the danger zone.

The difference is that instead of being 90 degrees, it's >120 degrees.
