Where will the world not be too hot to live in the next 50-100 years?

https://www.howhotwillitget.com , I made an overview of future climate scenarios of each country worldwide with the latest predictions by the World Bank, maybe this is what you are looking for. :)

This is great! FYI you've got Summer and Winter swapped on the Australia page, and presumably all other Southern Hemisphere countries.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Especially considering that it’s summer too. I’m from Ontario and you see counties with 2 million people delay opening because of 25 daily cases.

I'm in Texas and it's making the news here. There are international news sites that are already talking about how crazy it is and that no other place in the world has been closed so long under lock downs? It's starting to resemble the Soviet Union or something, you would think the people would tell the Government to go fuck themselves by now.

It's a mystery to me too.

Texas actually seems to have the most reasonable handling of Covid this year, where you open up earlier rather than later.

It would be fitting for Biden to admit this statement back in March was plain wrong, maybe even apologize for it:

That is what the facts tell us:

Note, this is mainly in BC. Canada is incredibly large, with many different climates. So while BC is suffering from these heatwaves, places like Montreal are at 20C and low humidity.

That was then. Some major events continue in B.C., of course, but this particularly bad heat dome phenomena is now being felt all the way from B.C. to Northern Ontario, the Yukon, and the NWT.
