Climate Change Will Make These Major Cities Uninhabitable By 2100

This week, world leaders have come together in Paris for historic climate change talks — the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change — to negotiate an agreement to reduce greenhouse gas emissions across the globe. “[The] growing threat of climate change could define the contours of this century more dramatically than any other,” said President Obama this week at the summit.

As the greatest minds in the world debate climate measures and the last weeks of 2015 slip away, it looks as if this year will be a record breaker: It’s set to be the hottest year ever, after eight of the past nine months broke global temperature highs. September 2015 also saw the largest rise of above-average temperatures of any month since records began more than 100 years ago. Before that, 2014 was said to have been the warmest year ever.

All this reveals a frightening trend: Our planet is getting hotter. So much so that if nothing changes, some major cities will soon become completely uninhabitable — within some of our children’s lifetimes.

It’s scary stuff, but according to a scientific study recently released in Nature Climate Change, cities such as Dubai, Doha, Abu Dhabi, and Bandar Abbas in the Persian Gulf will be too hot to sustain human life. Looking at the current populations of those cities, that’s nearly 5 million people who would be displaced.

The study explores regional climate models for the Middle East, concluding that a shift in normal temperatures could see extreme heat waves reach up to 170 degrees Fahrenheit by the year 2100, impacting human habitability in the region.
