Firstly, this is about tower blocks that cannot get adequate ventilation. Also, we get 80-90% of our country’s electricity from renewables on days like this, so with panels on the building too, it really shouldn’t cause any additional carbon to be released.
Secondly, look up “wet bulb temperature” and what that means in terms of your body’s thermal regulation. There’s a point where your body is no longer able to cool off, and this is when hyperthermia happens and then, pretty rapidly, death.
“Just suffer the heat” is increasingly dangerous advice with the trajectory we’re on, particularly with these buildings. They’re going to be the first places people start dying
