It would have been hilarious if not so disturbing that people ditch articles like this as garbage. Apparently the truth is too uncomfortable to accept. Haven't you noticed the change of weather for the last few years? It was almost 40 degrees celcius for a while in The Netherlands last Summer. In the Netherlands!! Every heat record has been broken recently. So perhaps no, most people won't have to work from 6-2, because our houses and company buildings will be air conditioned I'm sure, but when it comes to construction workers the time will (pretty soon) arrive when working by day in the Summer will be irresponsible.
@esmeralda I happen to have been around 5 times as long as you. Believe me, there is no "climate change". It's a religion of hysteria to keep you in fear. What there is, is "weather."
@esmeralda Well I suppose I should bow to your superior knowledge. You obviously know better than your elders. You see "Tourists heading for hellish heatwave - death threatens!" I see " Tourists headed for a sun holiday will get exactly what they want! and if they die, then they're idiots." But of course, you and your propaganda - sorry, news - must be right. "Stay safe!" Don't let the climate kill you!

The science here is crystal clear. The planet is warming rapidly as a result of human activity, and it’s going to impact all our lives. Adapting your working hours will be the least of your concerns.
@OctoberEyes Ooh, a computer model! So reliable! Reflecting exactly what the modeller wants them to find! Compare the ridiculous findings of Professor Lockdown Neil "Pantsdown" Ferguson about the hundreds of thousands of deaths from pandemics this century! Empty wind! AND YET THE GOVERNMENT AND THE PEOPLE BELIEVED HIM!
@WalterF It’s not a model, it’s a reconstruction of 692 proxy systems responding to temperature changes (e.g. tree rings, coral, marine sediment), from across 49 countries.
Here’s the paper: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6675609/
Here are details regarding the 692 samples used: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5505119/
Although, you mention models; climate models can be very accurate. Here’s a study of various models dating back as far as 1970 that were found to be “indistinguishable” from what actually happened: https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1029/2019GL085378

Might be better to follow Spain and go for siestas. But for the vast mumbers of people who work, or claim to work, from home, heat or cold won’t make any difference.
@MartinII Let's sleep for the climate, friends! After all, it needs our help! It may have managed for the last few million years, but now it's struggling! Certainly not helped by the private jets and yachts of our leaders!
