問題１ 次の英文の要約を 200 字以内の日本語で書きなさい。
PARIS (AFP-Jiji) — Current policies to limit global warming will expose more than afifth of humanity to extreme and potentially life-threatening heat by century’s end,
researchers warned last month.
Earth’s surface temperature is on track to rise 2.7 C above preindustrial levels by
2100, pushing more than 2 billion people — 22% of projected global population — welloutside the climate comfort zone that has allowed our species to thrive for millennia,
the scientists reported in Nature Sustainability.
The countries with the highest number of people facing deadly heat in this scenario
are India (600 million), Nigeria (300 million), Indonesia (100 million), as well as thePhilippines and Pakistan (80 million each).
“That’s a profound reshaping of the habitability of the surface of the planet, andcould lead potentially to the large-scale reorganization of where people live,” said leadauthor Tim Lenton, director of the Global Systems Institute at the University ofExeter.
Capping global warming at the 2015 Paris climate treaty target of 1.5 C would
sharply reduce the number of those at risk to less than half a billion, some 5% of the9.5 billion people likely to inhabit the planet six or seven decades from now, according
to the findings.
Just under 1.2 C of warming to date has already amplified the intensity or durationof heatwaves, droughts and wildfires beyond what could have occurred absent thecarbon pollution generated by burning fossil fuels and forests. The last eight years
were the hottest on record.
“The costs of global warming are often expressed in financial terms, but our study
highlights the phenomenal human cost of failing to tackle the climate emergency,”
said Lenton.
“For every 0.1 C of warming above present levels, about 140 million more people
will be exposed to dangerous heat.”-1-Profoundly unjust
The threshold for “dangerous heat” used in the new findings is a mean annual
temperature (MAT) of 29 C.
Across history, human communities have been densest around two distinct MATs
— 13 C (in temperate zones) and to a lesser extent 27 C (in more tropical climes).
Global warming is pushing up the thermostat everywhere, but the risk of tipping
into lethal heat is clearly higher in regions already close to the 29 C red line.
Sustained high temperatures at or beyond that threshold, studies have shown, arestrongly linked to greater mortality, reduced labor productivity and crop yields, alongwith more conflict and infectious disease.
As recently as 40 years ago, only 12 million people worldwide were exposed to suchextremes.
That number has today increased fivefold, and will climb ever more steeply incoming decades, the study found.
The risk is accentuated in regions straddling the equator, where human populations
are expanding most rapidly: tropical climes can become deadly even at lower
temperatures when high humidity prevents the body from cooling itself throughsweating.
