Would this be considered artificial selection since humans are the cause of the rising heat that is killing childbearing-aged people who cannot survive it?

Natural selection since a person isnt manually selecting the humans that survive / are more fit for the environment, although the changes in the environment are artificial given it is changed by human action.

Not to victim blame but i know multiple people who literally don’t drink water.
Energy drinks, soda, beer, etc. But zero water.

Stay hydrated.
