Projected Temperature Increases and Economic Consequences

The world is expected to experience significant temperature increases by the end of the century, projected at three to four degrees centigrade. This rise may be conservative due to the impact of deglobalization, which could lead to a lack of availability of low-carbon fuel sources like oil and gas. Consequently, nations may revert to using coal and wood for energy, resulting in substantial economic degradation. Many regions, especially those already facing heat and humidity issues, will struggle to adapt to these changes, leading to dire implications for human health and mortality rates.
