So, feeling hot? If you feel this summer has been hotter than usual, imagine the summer of 2053. This is a hot topic.
The researchers from First Street Foundation, a New York nonprofit that studies climate risk, predict that in 3 decades, more than 100 million Americans will live in an extreme heat belt where at least one day a year, the heat index will exceed 125° Fahrenheit, an extreme danger level. The sharpest heat increase will be felt in Florida. If you want to check what the temperature will be in your area in the next 30 years, check out their website to find out.
Effects of this extreme heat
- The recent heat wave in the Pacific Northwest sent almost 1,000 people to the hospital.
- Power grids experience blackouts.
- People experience exhaustion and dehydration as temperatures increase and can die from heatstroke.
- Bridges and roads buckle.
- Rising temperatures alone are responsible for over a 150 diseases made worse, increasing mosquito survival, biting rates and outbursts of dengue fever and malaria.
As scary as this is, there’s still hope. We still have time to avoid the worst consequences of climate change and leave this hot topic behind.
