The world is heading to add 57 superhot days a year, but study indicates it could have been worse
Climate actions since the Paris Agreement have halved potential superhot day increases, but small ocean-dependent nations will face the largest rise, with 57 days added worldwide by 2100.
- By the end of the century, the world is projected to experience an increase of 57 superhot days per year, with poorer nations being affected disproportionately, according to a study released Thursday.
- The study indicates that actions taken under the Paris climate agreement have significantly helped reduce the expected increase in superhot days from 114 to an additional 57 days annually.
- Kristina Dahl, Vice President for Science at Climate Central, stated that there will be pain and suffering because of climate change, highlighting the impact of heat waves on health.
- University of Victoria climate scientist Andrew Weaver noted that the report quantifies how global warming disproportionately affects developing nations with low greenhouse gas emissions.
