Researchers modelled global temperature increases ranging between 1.5 and 4 degrees Celsius to identify areas of the planet where warming could lead to heat and humidity levels that exceed human limits. Results indicated that warming of the planet beyond 1.5 degrees above preindustrial levels will be increasingly devastating for human health across the planet. Advertisement As climate change pushes temperatures higher around the world, billions of people could be pushed beyond these limits. In 2015, 196 nations signed the Paris Agreement which aims to limit worldwide temperature increases to 1.5 degrees above pre-industrial levels.
