A soaring temperature rise for just days could be enough to deprive billions of low-income people of food, while record temperatures are recorded around the world, a study has revealed.
For example, a week-long temperature spike in India could likely lead to serious food insecurity for an additional eight million people, according to conclusions published in the journal Nature Human Behaviour.
The study, which covered 150 countries, mostly in tropical and subtropical regions, concluded that the heat wave itself meant millions of men, women, and children faced hunger, although overall food insecurity increased by less than 1 percent.
