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 …

Abstract The National Weather Service of the United States uses the heat index—a
combined measure of temperature and relative humidity—to define risk thresholds …

Extreme heat, particularly if combined with humidity, poses a severe risk to human health. To
estimate future global risk of extreme heat with humidity on health, we calculate indicators of …

Climate change can increase the risk of conditions that exceed human thermoregulatory
capacity,,,,,. Although numerous studies report increased mortality associated with extreme …

While every society can be exposed to heatwaves, some people suffer far less harm and
recover more quickly than others from their occurrence. Here we project indicators of global …

Extreme heat events are likely to become more frequent in the coming decades owing to
climate change,. Exposure to extreme heat depends not only on changing climate, but also …

Over the 21st century, human-caused climate change is projected to vastly increase the
occurrence of severe heat, which has deleterious health, economic, and societal impacts …

Globally, heat stress (HS) is nearly certain to increase rapidly over the coming decades,
characterized by increased frequency, severity, and spatiotemporal extent of extreme …

Impacts of climate change such as the effects on human discomfort, morbidity and mortality
often depend on multiple climate variables. Thus, a comprehensive impact assessment is …

In December of 2015, the international community pledged to limit global warming to below
2° C above preindustrial (PI) to prevent dangerous climate change. However, to what extent …
