Today’s map comes from scientists at MIT, who found that significant portions of Southeast Asia, including India, Pakistan and Bangladesh could be uninhabitable in 73 years.
Using climate modeling scenarios, the team of researchers let by Elfatih Eltahir found that some densely populated regions could regularly exceed what is known as a “wet bulb” threshold — this is a measure of heat and humidity, and above 35 degrees (or about 95 Fahrenheit), humans cannot survive for more than a few hours.
