Greatly enhanced risk to humans as a consequence of empirically determined lower moist heat stress tolerance
As heatwaves become more frequent, intense, and longer-lasting due to climate change, the
question of breaching thermal limits becomes pressing. A wet-bulb temperature (Tw) of 35° …

Probabilistic projections of increased heat stress driven by climate change
Abstract The Heat Index is a metric that quantifies heat exposure in human beings. Here,
using probabilistic emission projections, we show that changes in the Heat Index driven by …
