The Persian Gulf is about to become a

A study published by the Associated Press on October 26 said that if the state of continued CO 2 , the temperature in the Persian Gulf (southwestern Iran) could "grill" people in the near future.

Based on a computer-based measurement in a recent study, the Persian Gulf temperature index could increase from 74-77 degrees C in just six hours. Meanwhile, the human body couldn't stand the heat like that. Elderly people and patients are the ones who suffer the most serious health damage and even healthy people cannot bear the terrible heat.

The co-author of the paper, Professor of Environmental Engineering, Massachusetts Institute of Technology Elfatih Eltahir, said the good temperature for sauna in the sauna was 35 degrees Celsius. However, Eltahir confirmed it would be uncomfortable to suffer. they are for a long time.

At normal levels, the Earth does not come to the point of being harsh with high temperatures and humidity and sudden increases. But Eltahir said with geography and climate like Persian Gulf, the risk of heat storage continues to increase in the period from the present to the end of the 21st century.

This phenomenon is similar to disaster in 2003 in Europe, causing more than 70,000 people to die from heat shock, said Jeremy Pal.

In the future, big city areas like Abu Dhabi, Dubai and Doha (the immediate area of ​​the Persian Gulf) will not be difficult to live by. However, the article warns that it will be dangerous for those who regularly work outdoors. The Mecca in Saudi Arabia also did not suffer from sudden changes in temperature, but would also cause some Muslims to die when pilgrimages come here.

Chris Field, Carnegie Academy of Science researcher, is concerned about the warming of the Earth . If the temperature changes rapidly like the present time, perhaps the region of Africa and the Middle East is the first place to suffer from climate change. "Maybe people in this area will go elsewhere to stay," Field added.

AP led the call of the author of the study, said that if countries jointly expedite reasonable measures to reduce emissions, perhaps the future of the Earth as a "fire furnace" will not happen.
