    This is giving me Queen Cimorene vibes from the book Dealing with Dragons by Patricia C. Wrede. Cimorene, then a princess, is bored (she likes fencing and other things that "aren't proper") and dissatisfied with her suitors so she runs away to live with a dragon. There's a whole series (The Enchanted Forest Chronicles). They're YA but I've read them as an adult because I still like YA books even though I'm in my 40s

    The average temp on earth is 15C (as a fast google). An increase with 1,5C, could that be the same thing as your kid having a 40.7C temp and continues upwards? And you are not worried about global warming?
