   "The World Health Organization predicts that, starting in 2030, there will be an additional 250,000 annual deaths around the world because of climate change, caused by growing malnourishment, malaria, diarrhea and heat stress. Over a half-billion people live in the Middle East and North Africa today, regions that Tanarhte warns could ultimately become uninhabitable".

     @jorge Two years ago, the University of Hawai'i published a paper on the future regularity of #HeatWaves. They projected, that by 2100 about a third of the world's population will be exposed to unbearable heat for most of the year (red areas: > 200 days/year with possibly > 40°C). People in these areas are amongst the most vulnerable and the effects on agriculture... the only way to cope with this is by helping nature adapt to it and try making a living of what remains... or #ActNow, of course.
