Oxford Study Warns of Extreme Heat Risks by 2050

A new study from the University of Oxford says that by 2050, almost half of the world's people could live in places with extreme heat.

This is because the Earth is getting warmer.

The study found that the number of people living in very hot areas could almost double from 23% in 2010 to 41% by 2050.

This means more people will need air conditioning to stay cool.

Countries like India, Nigeria, and Indonesia will be affected the most.

The study also says that very cold places will become less common, which will change how people use energy for heating and cooling.

The researchers say we need to act now to stop the Earth from getting too hot, or many people will suffer from the heat.
