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 …

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 …

Heat stress harms human health, agriculture, the economy, and the environment more
broadly. Exposure to heat stress is increasing with rising global temperatures. While most …

Given the severe impacts of extreme heat on natural and human systems, we attempt to
quantify the likelihood that rising greenhouse gas concentrations will result in a new …

Extreme heat under global warming is a concerning issue for the growing tropical
population. However, model projections of extreme temperatures, a widely used metric for …

The risk associated with any climate change impact reflects intensity of natural hazard and
level of human vulnerability. Previous work has shown that a wet-bulb temperature of 35° C …

Efforts to understand the influence of historical global warming on individual extreme climate
events have increased over the past decade. However, despite substantial progress, events …

Heat extremes have grown disproportionately since the advent of industrialization and are
expected to intensify further under unabated greenhouse warming, spreading unevenly …

Heat-related mortality has been identified as one of the key climate extremes posing a risk to
human health. Current research focuses largely on how heat mortality increases with mean …

South Asia (SA) is one of those hotspots where earliest exposure to deadly wet‐bulb
temperatures (Tw> 35° C) is projected in warmer future climates. Here we find that even …
