Temperatures in parts of Chile and northern Argentina have soared to 10°C–20°C above average over the last few days. Towns in the Andes mountains have reached 38°C or more, while Argentina's capital, Buenos Aires, saw temperatures above 30°C—breaking its previous August record by more than 5°C. Temperatures peaked at 39°C in the town of Rivadavia.

At least some select few got briefly rich by capitalizing on destruction of all the things ... I was told that was always the goal, the very best of mankind, the one true god.
Born too early to not give a fuck, born too late to have (or want) a decent life expectancy, but born just in time to witness the global biodiversity collapse at the start of a super fast mass extinction event.
