It’s safe to say that a warming world is going to lead to greater discomfort for many of its inhabitants, but a new study out of Rutgers University is delving into the details of what this could look like come the end of the century. The team looked at how heat and humidity will combine to create heightened heat stress around the globe, concluding that it could affect more than four times as many people as it does today if current trends continue.

Were the planet to warm by 1.5° C (2.7° F) by the end of the century (a very conservative projection), the team calculates that heat stress would affect areas currently home to 500 million people. At 2° C (3.6° F) of warming that figure jumps to nearly 800 million, and at 3° C (5.4° F) of warming, a future many experts expect us to reach, an estimated 1.2 billion people would be affected by heat stress.

The team notes that this is four times the number of people affected by heat stress today, and 12 times as many as it would be were it not for industrial-era global warming. As for what this means for heat stress in a place like the Big Apple, the team says that New Yorkers could expect as many as 24 days each year that are comparable to the single worst day of the year today.

Worser than “feeling uncomfortable”

Heat Stress effects the Plants we depend upon
as well as the Insects that those Plants depend upon.

In a different thread I’d put forward the science of DEGREE DAYS

FAR worser than Feeling Uncomfortable…

The Inability for plants & insects to EVOLVE & ADAPT Quickly Enough
given these unprecedented SUDDEN Temperature Changes
(not to mention Weather & Water Distribution)
may well become THE NEXT MASS EXTINCTION EVENT

…or as George Carlin said; “Pack yer shit folks, we’re ‘going away’.”

Humans are too stupid to notice. Every other species on the planet has been in stress for quite a long time now.
We seem to think that god gave all of this to destroy so that we could pretend to find comfort.

People die from heat stress, it in not only discomfort that is the problem. Like most things some people are more susceptible than others.

What I meant was, we thought we were comfortable, having invented things like air-conditioning/dehumidifying and etc.
In reality we were already suffering and contributing that to something else.

We do have to live on this planet and can’t stop “progress” what we can do is not act like complete shits about it and wreck and kill everything.

All ‘progress’ should have been better monnitored.

all that air conditioning & de humidifying for our personal comfort
only spins things further & further out of (beyond) our control
see: downward spiral (or should I say “circling the drain”?)
