Seventy-four Per Cent People in the World to Face Heat-Waves by 2100

Seventy-four per cent of the world's population will be exposed to deadly heat-waves by 2100, if carbon dioxide emissions continue to rise at current rates, a study warns. Even if emissions are aggressively reduced, the percentage of the world's human population affected is expected to reach 48 per cent, researchers said. A team of researchers led by Camilo Mora, Associate Professor at the University of Hawaii at Manoa in the US conducted an extensive review and found over 1,900 cases of locations worldwide where high ambient temperatures have killed people since 1980. By analysing the climatic conditions of 783 lethal heat episodes for which dates were obtained, researchers identified a threshold beyond which temperatures and humidity become deadly. The study is published in the journal Nature Climate Change.
