Only Half a Degree of Warming Could Triple Earth’s Areas Too Hot for Human Survival
As the planet warms, more of Earth’s surface is edging toward temperatures that even the healthiest humans cannot endure. A new study, led by scientists at King’s College London, warns that a mere half-degree increase in global warming could triple the area of land where extreme heat becomes unsurvivable.
Half a degree rise in global warming will triple area of Earth that is 'too hot for humans’
Just half a degree rise of global warming will triple the size of the area of Earth that is considered to be too hot for humans. The new area will be equivalent to the size of the U.S., according to new research released on Tuesday. Researchers say that warming would come with dangerous repercussions for the people that live in the zone.
Large areas of the Earth will be too hot for humans if we hit 2°C above preindustrial levels according to new study
Large areas of the planet may become too hot to be habitable during extreme heat events. Researchers say that even healthy young humans would struggle to maintain a safe body temperature if we hit 2°C above preindustrial levels,
