Adamowski</b>]) found that the poorest parts of the world are likely to be two to five times more exposed to heat waves than richer countries by the 2060s. By the end of the century, the lowest-income quarter of the global population’s heat exposure will almost match that of the entire rest of the world.</p> Fri, 18 Feb 2022 20:29:29 +0000 valerie.mcleod@mcgill.ca 870397 at /macdonald /macdonald/jan-franklin-adamowski Tue, 15 Mar 2016 19:31:19 +0000 hcrphoto.macdonald@mcgill.ca 52119 at /macdonald
