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.

No reason to trust him when anyone can look
up such matters without much trouble if you own
a computer and speak a language that permits
questions.

 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.

I won't be here long enought to experience the
worst of what is coming in terms of heat and weather.
Dinosaur Summer might cover it. Deep caves and urban
redoubts with solar and wind generated electricity for
deep heat pipe cooling...
Back in the in the days of my youth about 10-11
years of age I borrowed the Amazing stories from the
Trailer Park office and this was in the age of the
Shaver stories. In one issue I read about a post-atomic
apocalyptic retreat by humans to deep caves and tunnels
and a brave explorer goes toward the surface only to
find gigantic cockroaches have taken over mankind's
place on the surface.  The Shaver stories had no plot
but paronoia and the subjection of humanity to the
deros and their beasts.
