🌡️ EXTREME HEAT Is Getting Worse, and It Will Reshape Earth FOREVER | PBS Terra

Extreme heat is the deadliest kind of weather on Earth.

Even as deaths from most weather decline, heat-related mortality is on the rise. Part of the reason? The very nature of extreme heat is changing. Climate change has unleashed a dramatic increase in dangerous “wet-bulb” events, when heat and humidity combine to overwhelm the human body’s ability to cool itself. In these episodes, we explore how extreme heat has begun redrawing the map of where humans can safely live, and the dangers and adaptations facing us in this new world.
