**If water can't boil**, in the language of physics this means that the heat capacity of water has become infinitely large. But water isn't just Pepsi-Cola. Water is both ice and steam, which means they will also have infinite heat capacity.
Our body temperature and internal organs will stop changing - seems like good news, but viruses will slowly eat us up, which is bad. How quickly humans and most animals will die, let the biologists:medics finish. Probably only protozoa will survive. Nature will change, too. Rivers and clouds will disappear, and ice will stop both melting and forming...
It's called the apocalypse in a nutshell.
