So no time travelers died of the extreme heat at 250 million years ago when the average temperature of the Earth was over 90 F ?

 Air conditioning may be needed.  Admittedly,
if you recognise that air may be needed,
other fatalities described can be avoided.
I don't trust your word anyway on the past
climate or the future.

I *think* he's talking about the Permian
Extinction event, when temperatures reached 95F.
It got nearly that bad during the Paleocene-Eocene
Thermal Maximum, which was only 56 million years ago.
