El Pais reports on a new study published in The Lancet Planetary Health, which highlights the increasing threat of dangerous heat exposure for millions of people, particularly those over 60 years old. The research indicates that with a 1.5-degree global warming, 22% of adult seniors worldwide could experience hazardous heat for at least one month per year. This underscores the urgent need for adaptation measures to protect vulnerable populations from the escalating health risks associated with rising temperatures.
