An NBC meteorologist suggested Sunday that the United Nations’ prediction that extreme heat could make certain US areas in the south unlivable for humans in the future is “probably closer than you might think.”
“The human body simply can’t handle these levels of heat and will go into heat stress,” guest host Joe Fryer said on NBC’s “Sunday Today.” “With much of the country and the world experiencing these record temps, at what point do certain areas just simply become uninhabitable for humans?” “This all means climate migration, people in the hottest areas with the most vulnerable populations moving to avoid the heat and drought conditions,” Lassman continued. “That of course, will put pressure on the cities and towns they move to and the heat [is] projected to cause this ripple effect this century.”A United Nations climate report warned that some parts of the south will be unlivable for humans by 2070 due to extreme heat.
Critics dismissed the report as just another study in a long string of catastrophic climate change warnings and calls to action from the U.N. dating back decades.
