Climate change, temperatures rise, so will mental health issues, underground home
As global warming makes things hotter there is the point to be well adjusted and
adjust! Migration to better conditions as they did in the ice ages. Food does not grow
in ice so they moved. In our case food won't grow in 122 deg summers so we all
must move on! Till then live underground!
~~~~~David Easterling, director of the Technical Support Unit at the NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information, emphasized that there was "no external interference in the report's development." He added that the climate change the Earth is experiencing is unlike any other.
"The global average temperature is much higher and is rising more rapidly than anything modern civilization has experienced, and this warming trend can only be explained by human activities," Easterling said.
Without significant reductions in greenhouse emissions, the annual average global temperature could increase 9 degrees Fahrenheit (5 Celsius) or more by the end of this century, compared with preindustrial temperatures, the report says.

~~~~~Survey respondents reported "anything that falls within the range of stress, anxiety, depression, emotional issues"; this "basically means things that are less extreme than hospitalization and suicide but more significant than like grumpiness or day-to-day emotional [agitation]."
Next, he and his colleagues linked the mental health reports to meteorological data from the city where each respondent lived. "We had this nice decade's worth of information about how environmental conditions related to the way people reported their mental health status," Obradovich said.
The research team analyzed the data in three ways.
First, they looked at temperatures and precipitation over a 30-day period and compared that to mental health. "Exposure to hotter temperatures and higher rates of precipitation in that period produced increases in the probability that people were going to report some mental health problem in that period," Obradovich said.
Specifically, the shift from average monthly temperatures between 25 degrees Celsius (77 degrees Fahrenheit) and 30 degrees Celsius (86 Fahrenheit) to averages greater than 30 related to a 0.5 percentage point increase in the probability of mental health difficulties. If this exact change in temperature were generalized across the nation, "that would produce approximately 2 million additional individuals reporting mental health difficulties," Obradovich explained.

But till then living in 122 deg summers with the food dying around you
you can live in a underground house noting you will have to get moving sometime.
Being poor can be a issue walking with no cars in 122 deg summers.
Adapt a bit and so is the point to be well adjusted and adjust.
Nature doesn't care otherwise why put yourself in harms way disabling
yourself? Start making a underground dwelling to be cool in the day
and get out at night. Get moving to a better climate. It's just the point of doing it!
