    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.
