Hot temperatures are bad, humidity is bad, but it turns out hot temperatures at lower humidity is seemingly even worse. And we're all fucked because climate change models show us likely hitting the temps this guy was exposed to if we don't fix some shit fast.

No, it's the high humidity that's bad. The temperature can be relatively low to reach wet bulb if the humidity is high.
