Study finds children disproportionately affected by global heat stress
VRT NWSLO·BE·about 5 hours ago
Research indicates that 350 million children currently experience at least 150 days of heat stress annually, a figure that would be limited to 120 million in a pre-industrial climate model. The analysis distinguishes between baseline heat and the additional stress attributed to anthropogenic global warming, highlighting a significant increase in long-term exposure.
