Nigeria to experience extreme temperatures by 2070
June 2, 2023 6:19 PMNigeria, India, Indonesia and Pakistan are predicted to experience extreme heat more than other parts of the world by 2070.more than a fifth of the world’s population would be pushed outside the climate niche — the set of temperature and precipitation conditions within which humans can survive – by the year 2100 as temperatures continue to rise.
The climate policy commitments of these countries, according to the report, will play a significant role in determining global warming by the end of the century.“Both India and Nigeria already show hotspots of increased exposure to extreme heat due predominantly to warming, consistent with our prediction that they are at greatest future risk,” the report reads.
“Their climate policy commitments also play a significant role in determining end-of-century global warming.”The report pointed out that emissions from citizens of richer countries were exposing future generations of low-income countries to extreme heat. The report added that “high temperatures have been linked to increased mortality, decreased labour productivity, decreased cognitive performance, impaired learning, adverse pregnancy outcomes, decreased crop yield potential, increased conflict, hate speech, migration and infectious disease spread”.
