Increases of extreme heat-humidity days endanger future populations living in China

Changes in heat stress due to climate change affect living and working conditions. A wet-bulb temperature (TW) of 35 °C is identified as the upper physiological limit for human survivability. On the basis of Coupled Model Intercomparison Project phase 6 model simulations, our evaluations show that t...
