Global warming and alterations in terrestrial ecosystems are transforming our planet into an increasingly hostile place for life. A recent NASA study has revealed that by 2050, certain regions of the world will become uninhabitable. due to the extreme increase in temperatures.
Human action, through pollution and deforestation, has caused accelerated climate change that affects the temperature, humidity and biodiversity of the planet. NASA, using satellite data and the wet bulb index, has studied the impact of global warming on the habitability of different areas.
The study has revealed that a wet bulb index above 35°C for six consecutive hours represents a fatal risk to human health, since the body loses the ability to regulate its internal temperature. Regions that exceed this threshold would become uninhabitable.
According to NASA findings, areas that will become uninhabitable by 2050 include regions in South Asia, such as Pakistan, as well as countries in the Persian Gulf and the coasts of the Red Sea. Eastern China and some areas of Brazil They could also face this fate, but by the year 2070. Even certain regions of the United States could be affected by this phenomenon in the coming decades.
These subtropical areas, which have already experienced a significant increase in temperature in the last 15 years, They will become hostile environments for life, due to extreme and unsustainable heat.
This NASA study is a warning signal about the devastating consequences of global warming. It is crucial to take urgent action to mitigate climate change and protect our planet for future generations.
