Middle East Projected To Become Too Hot For Humans By 2100
- 9 years ago
A recent study has found that, based on current carbon emission rates, certain areas of the Middle East like Abu Dhabi and Dubai may become too hot for human activity.
The Middle East is well-known for its hot temperatures, but recent research has found that human habitability could become affected if climate changes continue.
Based on current trends, the study published in Nature Climate Change estimates that by the year 2100, some cities in the region are projected to exceed a wet-bulb temperature of 95 degrees Fahrenheit which is the heat and humidity threshold at which the body is no longer able to cool itself.
Those cities include Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Doha, and two others in Saudi Ara
