Paul Beckwith, Wet Bulb Temperature and Human Health
Climate systems scientist Paul Beckwith discusses the dangers of high humidity and temperature combinations reaching the "wet bulb" threshold. Beckwith claims that temperatures exceeding 35 degrees Celsius with 100% humidity can lead to fatal heat stroke and the breakdown of human proteins. The hosts mock the "egg white" analogy used to describe protein denaturation in the human body during extreme heat.
