    Depends on if you work outside for a living or live near a coastline or a forested area. It won’t be like a Star Trek: The Original Series where everyone’s in a big room and a red glow starts pulsating and we all groan and crumple to the floor. No, it won’t be like that.

    It’ll be like heat exhaustion exacerbated a hitherto unknown heart condition that deaded you. Or a Cat 6 hurricane rolled a tree over you. Or failing crops mean you couldn’t fight off COVID-26 or whatever.

    No, we’re not going to all die at once, as such. Depending on your timeframe for “at once”.

      It’ll be like Katrina. Probably in Florida at first. Probably in the next ten years. Probably more than once.
