There are going to be a lot of climate refugees in the next quarter century. Crop failures, and literally unlivable temperatures like these. I doubt even Rwanda will be able to take them all in.

Certain crops will become untenable in some areas, but in other areas, certain crops will become tenable that once weren't.

But none of this is new, what's new (aside from the anthropogenic cause) is that Homo sapiens' usual coping mechanism of migration is no longer feasible.

This is where the problems and conflicts will come.

No, more extreme fluctuations (that on average end up being warmer) do not make crops tenable in areas where they previously were not.

Climate change doesn't mean just the temperature become a few degrees warmer. The most noticeable change is that one in century event may happen annually now: extreme heat, extreme cold, floods, hurricanes, etc.

> Homo sapiens' usual coping mechanism of migration is no longer feasible.

Migration is extremely common, that most migrants do not reach Europe or the USA did not mean that they are not migrating.

I may assume that you mean that Europe/USA cannot be the destination of all of them. But, I do not even think that most people is so willing to change to a different place. They will migrate as much as needed but not more.

Sorry, I was implying "large-scale" migration as a mechanism for coping with climate change[0]. That's not really possible without massive armed conflicts in these days of nation states.

And that is the coping mechanism for overpopulation.

For some perspective, since this seems to be on the sensational side, the yearly average high for August is 117, with temperatures routinely reaching into the 120s, with similar reports found through the last decade (on mobile, can’t reference easily).

So it's not a record temperature, just a really hot temperature in a place that routinely sees really hot temperatures?

It's a heat record for a very hot location for this particular time of year (yesterday's record beat the previous record with 0.2C).

If Iran's anything like Europe (and I truly have no idea if it is) then the real heat won't hit until July.

Iran is a big place. Google says it's nearly as large as Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and California put together.

Death Valley is not the same thing as the US yanno.

Europe isn't that tiny either. Still, some weather phenomena seem to common for most of it. Including that July is generally the hottest month. :)

Every year from now on is going to be the hottest year on record.

In average maybe, not in records. Highest temperatures are vary quite a lot since we measure temperatures in history.

Wanna bet on that?

Sure, on average I still win.

How is that even possible? If we took time moving forward you’d be wrong till the end of time.

See you next year for a new record high temp.

Record is 56.7°C (134°F) from 1913.

That's not ideal. I wonder what the wet bulb temperature was recorded at
