NASA unveiled a map of the world on March 9 showing the regions that will have become uninhabitable by 2050. In question: global warming, after the UN confirmed a 1.5 ° C rise in temperature compared to the pre-industrial era.
In thirty years, it will be very difficult to live in southern Asia or in the Persian Gulf, where Iran, Kuwait and Oman are located, reports

.
Ditto for countries bordering the Red Sea such as Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Ethiopia, Somalia or Yemen.
In 2070, Brazil and some American states in the Midwest will also be affected.

Inability of the body to cool itself
For this study, NASA relied on the wet bulb globe temperature index.
The latter makes it possible to estimate the effects of temperature, humidity and the sun on the human body as well as the ability of the latter to cool down by sweating.
If this ability disappears, there is a risk of death.
In a report published on February 28, researchers from the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) once again sounded the alarm on the consequences of climate change.
In addition to heat waves, droughts, floods, fires and melting ice, effects already known, global warming could also have an economic cost: between 35 and 132 million additional people could live in extreme poverty by 2030 if nothing is done. 'is made.
