[QUOTE="Edena_of_Neith, post: 1069435, member: 2020"] I wish to say a few things: I also am hearing of thousands of deaths due to the heat wave. I happen to think that very tragic. Read about what it's like - what it does to your body - to die of heat stroke. The people at ENWorld know the rules about politics. The people at ENWorld aren't stupid, nor are they ignorant of the rules. But perhaps some people at ENWorld want to control what is said here, and to deliberately get any thread they don't like closed, so they DELIBERATELY DISCUSS banned topics like politics, just to cause that to happen. My thanks to the moderators for protecting this thread. Especially to you, Dinkeldog. The current world record for heat is 136.6 degrees Fahrenheit, set in Algeria. A close second is a reading of 136.4 (or perhaps 136.2) in Death Valley, California, America. Mind you, that is the temperature in the shade. In the sun, especially in the desert sun of the tropics and subtropics, it is much hotter. And obviously the temperature of the actual ground is hotter ... it can reach 200 degrees. No person, no matter how acclimated or strong, has any chance if he is caught, unprotected by clothing and with no shade to get to, in the desert during the summer day without water. The sun will literally cook him to death. [/QUOTE]
