Climate change: Extreme heat a death threat to young people

“Older studies put a temperature limit for human heat stress at 35 degrees Celsius (95F).
But this limit was calculated in lab conditions where a person would be resting in the shade, in gale-force winds, doused in water, and naked — hardly a realistic scenario.
Wilson says in some cases, limits could actually be in the mid 20's. Studies like his have since tried to account for real world conditions.”
