They will likely expire by mass starvation before they succumb to hyperthermia, but you’re right, of course.

  Mass starvation won’t kill everyone at the same time. These demographics will die while those survive, then repeat.

This is the place for discussing the potential collapse of modern civilization and the environment.

Collapse, in this context, refers to the significant loss of an established level or complexity towards a much simpler state. It can occur differently within many areas, orderly or chaotically, and be willing or unwilling. It does not necessarily imply human extinction or a singular, global event. Although, the longer the duration, the more it resembles a ‘decline’ instead of collapse.
