Robust increase in population exposure to heat stress with increasing global warming

Robust increase in population exposure to heat stress with increasing global warming

Extreme heat, particularly if combined with humidity, poses a severe risk to human health. To estimate future global risk of extreme heat with humidity on health, we calculate indicators of heat stress that have been commonly used: the Heat Index, the Wet-Bulb Globe Temperature and the Wet-Bulb Temp...
