      Anthropogenic Climate Change, aka global warming, isn’t only warming. It’s exacerbation of temperature variants, especially extremes:

      -Hot climates will get hotter.
      -Cold climates will get colder.
      -Hurricanes and tornadoes will happen more often, and they will be stronger.
      -Wildfires will be bigger and more frequent.
      -Mudslides will be more frequent.
      -Extreme cold snaps more frequent and longer lasting.

      Etc.

      Not really hot enough to burn you instantly if you fall on it, usually only if you lose consciousness. Could be a heat stroke or something else.

        Yeah, I was wondering as well, if there’s something more to it.

        If my cup of tea is at 70°C, that does burn my tongue, but that’s in particular, because water conducts heat very well. I guess, if it’s very smooth asphalt and he gets full contact with naked skin, then it would conduct heat well, too…
