Mexico, Kenya, Italy and other nations around the world are experiencing one to two more months of heat stress than they were several decades ago, new research published Monday says, and some areas even more so. Regions previously untouched by heat stress are now feeling it, too.<\/p>\n
Extreme feels-like temperatures, heat stress days and tropical nights have all become dramatically more frequent, long and severe over the past six decades as the planet’s warming intensifies \u2014 a result of the burning of fossil fuels coal, oil and gas \u2014 according to a new study published in the journal Nature Climate Change on Monday.<\/p>\n
