Climate Crisis Is on Track to Push One-Third of Humanity Out of Its Most Livable Environment
Climate Crisis Is on Track to Push One-Third of Humanity Out of Its Most Livable Environment
As conditions that best support life shift toward the poles, more than 600 million people are already living outside of a crucial “climate niche,” facing more extreme heat, rising food scarcity and higher death rates.
3 to 6 BILLION people “could be trapped outside of that zone, facing extreme heat, food scarcity and higher death rates”. I don’t even know if there’s words appropriate enough to describe how awful this is. Holy shit. The polluters at the top and the US govt pushing the military’s budget higher and higher (bumping their emissions higher and higher) will be remembered as the worst killers in history.
Nah it'll be forgotten
Sadly the much more likely and unfortunate truth...
Well, that's fucking grim.
It definitely is. Especially since there still doesn't seem to be any sort of coordinated/meaningful action to prevent this.
no information in the article as to when this will occur. this decade? this century? some indeterminate future date, maybe?
seems like sabre rattling or clickbait
By late this century, according to a study published last month in the journal Nature Sustainability, 3 to 6 billion people, or between a third and a half of humanity, could be trapped outside of that zone [that best supports life]
The said study is linked and says "by 2080-2100" in its abstract
