The world is set to experience nearly two additional months of dangerous superhot days each year by the end of the century, with a new study revealing that smaller, less affluent nations will bear the brunt of this increase far more than major carbon-polluting countries.
However, the research also highlights the significant positive impact of global efforts to reduce heat-trapping gas emissions, initiated a decade ago with the landmark Paris climate agreement. Without these interventions, the Earth would be facing an alarming 114 extra superhot days annually.
