Resilience is the ability to work with adversity in such a way that one comes through it unharmed or even better for the experience. Resilience means facing lifeâs difficulties with courage and patience â refusing to give up.
Most adults will suffer third-degree burns if exposed to 150 degree water for two seconds. Burns will also occur with a six-second exposure to 140 degree water or with a thirty second exposure to 130 degree water. Even if the temperature is 120 degrees, a five minute exposure could result in third-degree burns.
Clearly, that does not mean heating up the planet is a safe thing to do. A temperature rise of just a few Â°C will have all sorts of unwelcome impacts (see Climate impacts). In particular, parts of the planet could still get too hot for humans to survive. In the hottest places on Earth today, like Californiaâs Death Valley, temperatures can reach well over 50 Â°C.
