@Charlie_denkt @AnnaDeMilanese https://t.co/6gtEo5KsvG Extreme heat combined with extreme humidity, which could render entire regions uninhabitable, is one of the most serious threats posed by climate change, posing an existential threat to the Persian Gulf and India in particular.
@Actual_Ffej @321Catholic @ChrisMartzWX At any rate, there is a physiological limitation, it is based on wet bulb temperature of at most 35°C, and climate change can cause significant numbers of people to be subjected to temperatures in excess of it within the century. https://t.co/hHOZOQWC4z That’s the bottom line.
@321Catholic @Actual_Ffej @ChrisMartzWX 87 °F is an incorrect conversion, as other have pointed out 35°C translates to 95 wacky degrees. But other than that, he’s correct. See here: https://t.co/1PEVOQ0m7o (the study was too conservative in terms of the risk of such temperatures occurring: https://t.co/hHOZOQWC4z) https://t.co/jKb82iNUXe

@tingeylp @extremetemps Aha, I think I found a historical chart: "Spatial distribution of highest daily maximum wet-bulb temperature, TWmax (°C), in modern record (1979–2015)." (https://t.co/WFxb2795Iu) https://t.co/TpzrPdTKpG
@PGDynes @RenateKuenast Last chart from: https://t.co/64oVYOa0TC
@pp0196 @KaiHeron The “parts of India could become uninhabitable” claim also comes from a RCP8.5 scenario. Thankfully the same paper also has a RCP4.5 (~2.5°) projection — under which 0% of India would experience wet-bulb temps >35°, which is the “survivable” threshold. https://t.co/64oVYOa0TC https://t.co/c8MFQUk5kJ
@JimWalshLD19 Unlivable Indian cities. "... we project extremes of wet-bulb temp. in South Asia are likely to approach and, in a few locations, exceed critical threshold (35°C) by the late 21st century under the business-as-usual scenario of future GHG emissions..." https://t.co/X4PQTpaitW https://t.co/J0b1WmTiXx
I can already think of scenarios in the future when millions of people would be exposed to this dangerous level of heat, in a poor region where households do not have reliable electricity supply, and obviously no air conditioners! https://t.co/CeGcM2ApRV

@SWEurope_ @scholarswarning @deepadaptation Great thread. Read it, especially the Eltahir studies on climate-irrigation interactions and unsurvivable heatwaves (wbt >31-35°C) in China and India. We've been warning for years. All this is no surprise.

This is particularly alarming because so many of these areas are HUMID in addition to being hot AND folks are highly VULNERABLE, once exposed. H/T work by Im, Pal, & Eltahir for exploring this issue 5 years ago: https://t.co/EqBDauSnWr https://t.co/Kn6r6GboyA
@Ja9BD Dit is het artikel van de deze hoogleraar: https://t.co/3nVySozs6A Helaas, het Is een sprookje, want dit verhaal is gebaseerd op RCP8.5. Dit heeft met wetenschap niets uit te staan.
as you probably have read, Im, Pal, and Eftahir 2017 https://t.co/Y2bcrzTlPR show many heavily populated areas in S. Asia are liable to be exposed to deadly heat in 2071-2100 (RCP 4.5&8.5). This is one of many studies wet bulb T danger. (Im et al. doesn't mention aersosols...)
@tjayaraman @SorenHave @KevinClimate Robinson uses it as an _example_ of "climate colonialism"; states that contributed little to the problem of climate change being made to suffer from the problem of climate change.
