A new study conducted by researchers from King’s College London explored the risks we’re likely to face with even the slightest increases in global warming

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,

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.
