19% of the world\u0027s land mass could suffer temperatures on a par with the hottest parts of the Sahara

The report highlights how the majority of humans live in a very narrow mean annual temperature band of 11C-15C . Researchers noted that despite all innovations and migrations, people had mostly lived in these climate conditions for several thousand years.

“Each degree of warming above present levels corresponds to roughly 1 billion people falling outside of the climate niche,” Lenton noted. To visualize how liveable the earth will be in 2070 under these scenarios, the Financial Times has paired the population projections with each climate model and mapped them across six continents.

All the scenarios are idealized futures, she noted, but this is a common practice with scenario analysis. “They are all possible while sometimes reflecting extreme cases. Using several widely diverging scenarios together help capture the range of uncertainty.”Article content Large areas of the Amazon rainforest in Brazil, along with Peru, Colombia and Venezuela, would be virtually unliveable

Where are the population control measures Mr Trudeau?

But they also predicated that so many decades ago...🤨

Canada will be an even more beautiful place when this comes true.

It must be the CFC’s. The hole in the ozone layer finally got us. Or maybe the acid rain?

‘Could’ is a very important word.

Climate change means cooling if the earth and forcing extremes in the opposite direction. globalcooling

scientists like NP journalists. What a Dark Age now! Witches burning at stakes was not a bad idea despite some mistakes; if words (of arguments) do not work then...Swords must be used

I need to buy more land in Montana. Thx for the tip!

Yadda yadda yadda.... Unbelievable bullshit.

😁😁😁😅😅😅😉😂🤣🤣😁😄

Not 'could' WILL Stop talking about the Climate Crisis like it's a hypothetical

So let's bankrupt ourselves to reduce our 1% of global emissions while China spews out unprecidented coal fumes because reasons.

It’s the hot flashes from a middle aged demographic. There I said what everyone was thinking.

So by 2070 Canada becomes slightly better than low suitability for human life? That’s kind of a win isn’t it?

Flora an Fauna have survived for millions of years because of the ability to adapt to climate conditions around the world. We could shut off every power plant, every refinery,every emission emitting device tomorrow and the only species that would not survive is humans

Sorry to have to tell you but most of those places already HAVE inhospitable living conditions. (That's why few people live there now.) Maybe stick to Manhatten being underwater next year, or was it LAST year?

What ever happened to journalism and real news

I guarantee the Toronto Maple Leafs will the next 20 games. Both situations have similar odds. In fact, the Leafs odds are more realistic.

thejohnrobson, can you please chime in here. Thanks.

Who are you going to believe, Trump or scientists?

I can tell the MSM got the memo to switch from COVID to climate fear

Canada under Trudeau is becoming unlivable.

Isn't the arctic already unsuitable? Wouldn't warming make it more suitable?

Do I add it besides 2021?

More hysteria......

I was told we had 12 years left on this planet and legacy media pushed it. Get your story straight before you fear monger

More hysteria.

Even a broken clock is right twice a day. Who are these scientists? Names, research, discussion papers, background checks, who they work for etc? Follow the money.

What BS

Same old song and dance.

World population growth is expected to grow by over 3 billion by the end of the century to almost 11 billion. Climate change is unstoppable and the worlds energy needs are only increasing. Going to be a rough few centuries for mankind… and the far left.

For all you saying that Trudeau is doing to much are lying to yourselves and I don't want to bear about China or Russia. They will be dealt with if they don't fall in line. If you still don't think so, get used to drought, forest fires, and millions of climate refugees.

Et tu, National Post?

Hands up for anyone who remembers Global Dimming...

2070 is approx. 13 4yr election cycles from now...glad I'll long be dead

What happened to the scientists of the 1970’s that said 2 billion people would be living in an ice age by the 1990s?

Wow! We Should Start Spending Trillions Right Away! Remember. We Had Only 12 Years Left 12 Years Ago ClimateFraudClownShow 🧦❄️😜🤡🎈

How convenient that Europe seems to be the only place suitable for human life. Justification for more demographic replacement with climate refugees? What else would it be lol

Don't worry, global population will be cut in half by 2050

Trudeau criticizes Conservatives on COVID-19 vaccinations while calling for parliamentary co-operationAt the first Liberal caucus meeting since the federal election, the Prime Minister urged MPs to work with other progressive parties to deliver concrete results on climate change, housing and Indigenous reconciliation Trudeau - you can’t have your cake and eat it too - he talks out of both sides of his mouth just like his father did - and that did not end well for Canada!! Enter Jagmeet Singh I have very very little respect for the PM of Canada are I barely care for his thoughts and opinions. There is nothing good, kind or positive he’s said to his countrymen that I can look forward to with any hope toward a him. I might as well keep my head down & continue toiling.
