OK, so hear me out. The Saudi king is the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques. Since the Hajj is now becoming dangerous for the faithful because of climate change, that means that the Saudi king needs to act to protect the Hajj and the Two Holy Mosques. I.e., the Saudi king has a religious responsibility to act on climate change, by clamping down on CO2 emissions and curtailing hydrocarbons extraction. It's the will of Allah, man.

He'd sooner air condion the whole area.
At least in what they say they certainly recognize this. The middle East as a whole talks about climate change much more than the US in my experience, mostly because to them it is an actual existential threat. Money is money so I'm sure they'll keep extracting oil while it makes money, but every single middle Eastern economy's goal has been to diversify from oil for many decades now.

That's 125.24°F. The yeast in your bread is now dead, and your steak is rare.
Seems like about 1,000 humans are rare too.
I……. Don’t like this information ☹️
If it’s for a religious event, is it not part of gods plan?

Not dead, "received an unexpected early heavenly reward". And if it was catholics or protestants, same. If it was hindu's they'd have prematurely transcended. Pastafarians? Over cooked. All religions are risible!
That's a sad ending for pastafarians
Think of the worshippers of fine carpentry, who drink sacramental varnish. A horrible end. But a lovely finish.
There is a certain poetic justice in Saudi Arabia becoming uninhabitable as a direct result of all the dinosaur juice they dug out from under it.
Although as usual the people responsible will feel no effect as they sit in air conditioned palaces, grifting even more money to try and build a pointlessly long, tall and narrow city.
Not long before they install sealed, air-conditioned walkways for the well-off.
The others... well, best of luck.
have you seen even pictures of the Grand mosque? I have no doubt that what you described already exists....
