the weather is outside. tim s team found that, back in 1980, just 0.3% of people lived in areas with an average temperature of 29 degrees or more so, as a simplified proxy for the many complex consequences of climate change, they looked at how many people might be exposed to that level of extreme heat towards the end of the century. they found, at 1.5 degrees of warming, the preferable limit set by the paris agreement, 5% of the future population would be affected. but, at 2.7 degrees, what s expected if the world sticks to its current policies, the heat exposed population will be five times that over 20% of the future population, around 2 billion people, a significant proportion would live in india and nigeria, to 1.8 degrees of warming. but this study suggests each tenth of a degree we prevent could save around 140 million people from living in these extreme temperatures.
