One problem we'll need to solve is temperature. Today at 16:00 on my way home the road was 51°C. I know this because that's the temperature my car thermometer measured.

I want to use public transport, but until we figure out how to walk to the bus stop and wait for the bus without dying it's not going to happen.

Climate change will force people in your situation to move to more habitable areas.

Yeah, that's not going to happen. I'm already in a "habitable" area, Perth in Western Australia. Unless everyone moves to the Arctic, we need to solve the problem in another way.

If it's 51c in the shade you can't habitate that area for very long

It was 51°C on the road, which is why I commented on taking public transport requiring us to solve how we deal with temperature. The maximum "official" temperature was 43.6°C.

Thanks for the clarification as I was confused how 51c was livable for most.
