• Increased frequency of and population exposure to extreme heat index days in the United States during the 21st century (2019, neutral): “5 (Liu et al 2017,Mora et al 2017, Jones et al, 2018).”
• Extreme heat waves under 1.5 °C and 2 °C global warming (2018, methodology): “…labour productivity (e.g. Dunne et al 2013) and affect human health, with a documented relationship existing between extreme heat events and increased mortality (Garcı́a-Herrera et al 2010, Robine et al 2008, Barriopedro et al 2011, Mitchell et al 2016, Mora et al 2017, Gasparrini et al 2017).”

For example, with the changing climate, more people will need access to air conditioning in regions where deadly heat waves will become common [267, 268]. Two major challenges are heterogeneity and inertia. Buildings vary according to age, con”
• Air conditioning and electricity expenditure: The role of climate in temperate countries (2020, background): “Even in countries located at midlatitudes, the frequency of days with very high average temperature is rising, and therefore the demand for space cooling is also rising (Mora et al., 2017).”
• IPCC baseline scenarios have over-projected CO2 emissions and economic growth (2020, background): “…have substantially higher GDP per-capita by 2100 than currently-developed regions have today (Dellink et al 2017, IIASA 2018), while at the same time other studies project that a forcing level of 8.5 W m − 2 in 2100 would render many of these same regions uninhabitable by 2100 (Mora et al 2017).”
