Wet Bulb temperature (upper limit of human adaptability):
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2906879/ **If warmings of 10°C were really to occur in next three centuries, the area of land likely rendered uninhabitable by heat stress would dwarf that affected by rising sea level. Heat stress thus deserves more attention as a climate-change impact.** http://www.pnas.org/content/107/21/9552.full
http://www.purdue.edu/newsroom/research/2010/100504HuberLimits.html***Humans at rest generate about 100 watts of energy from metabolic activity. Wet-bulb temperature estimates provide upper limits on the ability of people to cool themselves by sweating and otherwise dissipating this heat, he said. In order for the heat dissipation process to work, the surrounding air must be cooler than the skin, which must be cooler than the core body temperature. The cooler skin is then able to absorb excess heat from the core and release it into the environment. If the wet-bulb temperature is warmer than the temperature of the skin, metabolic heat cannot be released and potentially dangerous overheating can ensue depending on the magnitude and duration of the heat stress.*** http://www.pnas.org/content/early/2010/04/26/0913352107.abstract
