A new study claims that, by the end of this century, some cities in the
Persian Gulf will be uninhabitable by humans, thanks to extreme
temperatures up to 170F (76c). -
"A number of cities in the Persian Gulf region may be unlivable the end
of the century due to global warming if humans do not curb greenhouse
gas emissions, according to new research." -

According to Wikipedia,
the hottest temperature ever recorded was 57c (134F) in Death Valley,
in 1913. 76c (170F) might not seem like much of a leap from 57c, but the
cities Doha, Abu Dhabi and Bandar Abbas are all coastal cities which experience substantial Summer rainfall.
Summer rainfall and storms are natural air conditioning. When temperatures soar, evaporation, convection and storm activity remove vast amounts of excess heat from the surface
and transport the heat straight up to the edge of space. The heat laden
water vapour keeps rising until it condenses – the vapour simply
punches straight through the bulk of the world’s greenhouse blanket,
soaring into the upper reaches of the troposphere, until it finds a
height at which it can dump its vast store of heat."
