   • 2015 June 6, Robert Kopp, Jonathan Buzan and Matthew Huber, “The Deadly Combination of Heat and Humidity”, in The New York Times‎^[1]:

     Moderate reductions in emissions of heat-trapping gases — sufficient to stop global emissions growth by 2040 and bring emissions down to half their current levels by the 2070s — can avoid those paralyzing extremes and limit the expected late-century experience of the average American to about 18 dangerously humid days a year. And strong reductions — bringing global emissions to zero by the 2080s — can cap the growth of humidity extremes by the midcentury.
