Shorts: Raising the Alarm on Kuwait's Heat

The Middle East is heating faster than much of the world and Kuwait is careering towards unbearable temperatures. As the mercury tops 53ºC, three Kuwaiti citizens – a weather forecaster, an influencer, and a retired civil servant – raise the alarm. They say that Kuwait must not be allowed to get any hotter – and one of them has a solution to offer. With 2021 set to be one of the hottest years on Earth, Life at 50°C presents the human impact of our changing climate.
