The United Nations and the Red Cross warned on Monday that heatwaves will get so bad in some parts of the planet within a few decades that human life won’t be able to survive there.In the Sahel, the Horn of Africa, and south and southwest Asia, heatwaves are expected to “beyond human physiological and societal boundaries,” resulting in “large-scale misery and loss of life,” according to the organisations.
In a joint assessment, they cautioned that this year’s heatwave disasters in places like Pakistan and Somalia portend deadlier, more frequent, and more severe heat-related humanitarian problems in the future.
