In the article “Persian Gulf Heat: It May Become too Hot for Humans to Survive, Study Warns,” Brandon Miller, a CNN meteorologist, writes about how the Middle East could become uninhabitable by the year 2100. Humans have been hearing about the effect of climate change for a long time now, but many of them don’t really enter our minds as a big problem. This new study is different. Authors from Loyola Marymount University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have put out a disturbing idea. They believe that some cities in the Middle East will become unfit for human life, all because it is becoming too hot in the summer.
Question: Why, how, and where will these effects of climate change occur?

2 degrees C is equivalent to 35.6 degrees Fahrenheit, and once the climate gets 35.6 degrees F warmer, scientists predict bad things happening. The Middle Eastern region, which is already one of the hottest areas in the world, would be the first to experience cities no longer able to be lived in. “The study looked at "wet-bulb temperature," which is a value that combines air temperature and humidity. Wet-bulb temperature is always less than the actual air temperature, unless the air is 100% saturated, with drier air having a lower wet-bulb temperature compared with the air temperature,” Brandon Miller wrote. Cities where very hot and dry deserts meet humid Gulf coastlines such as Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Kuwait City have been studied to how they will change by 2100. The wet-bulb temperature exceeds 31 degrees C (88 degrees F) on only the hottest of summer days, and is never said to have reached 35 degrees C (95 degrees F) which is deadly to humans.
