Health academics from Stanford University estimated that if the planet gets 1.5°C warmer, 22 per cent of the world’s older adult population will experience “frequent and widespread exceedance of heat-compensability limits,” which means their bodies will no longer be able to cool them down to compensate for extreme heat levels.

Currently, Earth’s 2025 average temperature…
