There are temperature/humidity ranges that make it impossible for any human to be able to cool themselves off through sweating. If we surpass that point and don't have AC, all humans experiencing that temperature/humidity will die after a period of time.

Nobody is safe when the atmosphere itself is lethal to human life.
