30 Million Americans Face 'Excessive Heat Alerts'. Death Valley, California Hits 130 Degrees

"Death Valley, California, recorded high temperatures of 130 degrees Fahrenheit on Friday and 129.4 degrees on Saturday, according to the National Weather Service..." reports NPR. "Experts need to verify the 130-degree records from this year and last year, but if correct they would be the hottest temperatures reliably recorded on Earth."

"Interestingly, it could happen again Sunday, and perhaps even Monday as well," adds CNN. But they also report that nearly a tenth of all Americans are now facing a hot weekend:More than 30 million people in the West are under excessive heat alerts. The heat alerts stretch from northern Washington state down to the Arizona/Mexico border. Grand Junction, Colorado, set a new all-time temperature record of 107 on Friday. Las Vegas tied its all-time temperature record of 117 degrees on Saturday. Fresno, California, could also near its all-time temperature record of 115 degrees on Sunday.

But none of these quite compares to the staggering 130 in Death Valley — 13 degrees above normal.

If this planet had some focus the market actually COULD help!
One of the biggest issues is the Wet Bulb issue.
The wet bulb issue, btw a wet bulb is the bottom part of a thermometer, is when there is so much humidity in the air and heat that there is not enough dry air around you to absorb the moisture which makes it thermodynamically impossible for your body to sweat, in such circumstances in a few hours you can die.

The market can address this issue with Smart Fabrics, clothing on your body that somehow absorbs this moisture.
Also technology in smart cities where some type of drones are unleashed whenever there wet bulb ratio is too high.

Also sensors, attached to traffic lights and streetlights that calculate the wet bulb ratio in as many open outside spaces as possible.

Now you may say haha ya the free market, but everything that I mentioned above, do you think the govt. will make these things ever?

Yes but what about all the hundreds of millions of impoverished people on this planet who barely have clothes on their backs to begin with.
