A new report from Climate Central reveals that one in five people worldwide\u2014approximately 1.8 billion individuals (22% of the global population)\u2014are experiencing significant temperature changes due to human-induced climate change, Anadolu Agency reported. This report covers the period from December 2024 to February 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The findings indicate that extreme heat, primarily driven by the burning of coal, oil, and methane gas, has affected various regions. During this three-month span, nearly 394 million people faced 30 or more days of “risky heat,” with 74% of those affected located in Africa. “Risky heat” days are defined as those exceeding 90% of typical local temperatures from 1991 to 2020, heightening the risk of heat-related health issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The peak exposure occurred on February 28, 2025, when three billion people\u201437% of the global population\u2014endured such extreme temperatures. The report underscores the urgent need to address the health risks associated with climate change.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
