That limit is hit when a bulb thermometer wrapped in a wet towel (a measure of heat and humidity (28) _______ is known as "wet-bulb" temperature) reads 35O Celsius, or 95O Fahrenheit. Even the fittest human supplied with unlimited water would probably die after a few hours in these conditions.
Scientists have thought that this temperature extreme occurs rarely, if ever, on Earth. (29)______ as the globe warms, wet-bulb temperatures around 35O C could become more common toward the end of the century in certain regions, endangering hundreds of millions of people.
If carbon emissions aren't (30) ______ curbed in the coming decades, these relatively rare extremes will become increasingly common. Such conditions are unbearable without technology like air conditioning and make outdoor labor near impossible.
