‘Non-survivable’: heatwaves are already breaching human limits, with worse to come, study finds

"Extreme heat is already creating “non-survivable” conditions for humans in heatwaves that have killed thousands and likely many more, according to new research that warns people are more susceptible to rising temperatures than first thought."

"Climate studies have found that heatwaves are lasting longer and delivering higher temperatures around the world."

“The fact we are so close to physiological limits means that mitigating higher temperatures is essential to humans still being able to live and thrive in the hottest and most humid places, including the top end of Australia and much of the tropics, but especially in India and the Middle East. >>
