Limiting global warming to targets proposed in the Paris Agreement could keep tropical regions from reaching temperatures that are beyond human tolerability, a new study projects.
Researchers estimate that if countries are able to cap warming at 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels, the tropics will be spared temperatures that surpass the ‘survival limit.’ But life in the world’s hottest latitudes could become intolerable if those controls aren’t met.
The study focused on a measure called…
