Almost the entire world experiences—and will continue to experience—heat waves, but climate models show expanding risk in higher latitudes and even greater risk in places that already experience warm weather. Many of these places, for example, South and Southeast Asia and West Africa, already face challenges to climate change adaptation, including relatively low adaptive capacity, rapidly growing populations, inadequate cooling infrastructure such as air conditioning or cold supply chains that preserve vaccines, essential medicines and food.

Ever than before, there is utmost need for cooling systems all across the globe, due to global warming and urban city development. The ozone layer is not as reliable as it used to be. The need to cool you is of high priority to ME.

What Causes Serious Heat

Since the birth of Industrial Revolution in 1750, humans’ activities have added more burden to the atmosphere, through the burning of fossil fuels, such as coal and gas, we release carbon dioxide (CO2). CO2 builds up in the atmosphere and causes Earth’s temperature to rise, much like a blanket trap in heat. This extra trapped heat disrupts many of the interconnected systems in our environment.

How does heat impact health?

Heat gain in the human body can be caused by a combination of external heat from the environment and internal body heat generated from metabolic processes. Rapid rises in heat gain due to exposure to hotter than average conditions compromise the body’s ability to regulate temperature and can result in a cascade of illnesses, including heat cramps, heat exhaustion, heatstroke, and hyperthermia. Once body temperature rises to 103 Fahrenheit or higher, a person starts to suffer from heat stroke, which can be a fatal.
