The heat is on: Will India be uninhabitable soon?

in #india7 years ago

Large parts of India may become uninhabitable due to a combination of heat and humidity by the end of the century, reveals a study published in an American journal Science Advances.
A study published this month in Science Advances, an American journal, shows that by the end of the century large parts of India may become uninhabitable due to a combination of heat and humidity. The study examined data based on rising wet-bulb temperatures (TW), a measure of the air temperature combined with humidity, to account for relatively cool days that feel hotter because of high humidity. Once a certain wet-bulb temperature is exceeded, the body can no longer cool itself. According to the study, at these temperatures, "exposure, for even a few hours will result in death even for the fittest of humans under shaded, well-ventilated conditions".

That is nothing. We already have that problem in Missouri. LOL
