Even South America, in the throes of winter, saw unbelievable heat: A town in the Chilean Andes topped 100 degrees F — another all-time high. And more heat will come, bringing parts of Mexico’s coasts and more of South Asia into the danger zone. It is getting to the point that life is dangerous without air-conditioning.
