120-degree heat in Iraq, power grid shuts down

I remember seeing that latino comedian tell a joke once about arabs, on how an arab man told him, no wonder you see arabs frowning all the time, its down to the heat.

The sun is nice to a point, we all have our limits.

Must be quite bad to be there in that temp.

This must be unbearable.

"In the southern provinces of Basra, Dhi Qar and Maysan, authorities said Saturday that the electricity grid had lost power for a second night in a row, plunging millions of homes into darkness through the sweltering night. Food spoiled in fridges. Parents put their children in the car and drove for hours – the air conditioning in their vehicles was the only way to stay cool."

Only solution is to dig subterranean corridors and shelters, and go down there to protect oneself from the heat.

It's always cool in those places.

Not trying to infuriate any retards...

Just sayin' you know...

It was hotter than this in the 30's. Was that also Anthropogenic climate change? 1886 was similar to this year...was this also Anthropogenic climate change?

NEOM will fix all that.

Bombshelter climate controlled prisons to hold 100 million in population... before they are processed.

Where - in the US?

WAS it hotter than this, really?

Long term solution.

Who would want to live in those places anyway?

it is not that 120/130 degrees are unheard there

115 is common in EAU also
