Just like with any warming, only idiots see it as a bad thing. The cold is no good to anyone.

Pork is well done at 160F. Oh right, you Canadians don't know what degrees F means ;^))

I roast pork at 160C
30 minutes per half Kg and a few minutes over.

Yes, oven temp is 160C. Pork internal temp is far less. If it reaches 160C, it will be dry as a fart. I cook too, every Sunday, all day.

People will dry out and die at a wet bulb temperature of 35C. This has never happened for long periods of time, but it only takes 4 - 5 hours and all living mammals will die under those conditions. Closest that has come to this was in Saudi Arabia along the Persian Gulf in summer.

From Wiki:

A sustained wet-bulb temperature exceeding 35 °C (95 °F) is likely to be fatal even to fit and healthy people, unclothed in the shade next to a fan; at this temperature our bodies switch from shedding heat to the environment, to gaining heat from it.[7] Thus 35 °C is the threshold beyond which the body is no longer able to adequately cool itself. A study by NOAA from 2013 concluded that heat stress will reduce labor capacity considerably under current emissions scenarios.[8] A study by Purdue University concluded that under a worst case scenario for global warming, the wet-bulb temperature limit for humans could be exceeded around much of the world in future centuries.[9]

An example of the threshold at which the human body is no longer able to cool itself and begins to overheat is a humidity level of 50% and a high heat of 46 °C (115 °F), as this would indicate a wet-bulb temperature of 35 °C (95 °F).[10]

And you can survive in a sauna at the same temp, for a while anyway.

Please, eat the pork raw. I'd love global warming kooks to all get trichinosis.
