| Note: | From the abstract: The Heat Index is a widely used measure of apparent temperature that accounts for the effects of humidity using Steadman's model of human thermoregulation. Steadman's model, however, gives unphysical results in sufficiently hot and humid conditions, [such as those expected to] become increasingly frequent... [We extend and] map the index onto measurable quantities, including... the time it takes for the [human body] core to exceed a survivable temperature. The Heat Index is then calculated everywhere on Earth in a business-as-usual climate simulation up to the year 2300, allowing us to assess the habitability of future Earth.
