26. I've seen a climate-change study that the Middle-East will be drastically hotter 100 years from now.

The argument was based around the temperature and air-moisture around the Persian Gulf. One possible scenario stated that the areas around the Persian Gulf could become so hot and moist, that humans could no longer sweat and be at severe risk of dying from heatstroke.

The affected areas were: the southern part of Iran, Kuwait, southern Iraq, eastern and central Saudi-Arabia, all the smaller Gulf-states.

The study said that 100 years from now, the Middle-East would become so hot that there's a good chance for an occasional hot summer-day when every human caught outside would straight-up die.
