New research in the journal Scientific Reports examines heat–humidity and self-harm rates, one of the first studies to account for relative humidity rather than heat alone.
The research, released in the journal Scientific Reports, concludes that by 2050 marine heat waves may double the impact of climate change on species that are highly valued for fisheries.
"Unpredictable levels of rainfall, particularly in the tropics, appear to have had a negative impact on pre-Columbian populations until 6,000 years ago," an archaeologist who worked on the study explained.
