With climate change starting to profoundly alter weather systems, rising temperatures could soon make parts of the world uninhabitable.
随着气候变化开始深度改变天气系统,不断上升的气温可能很快使部分地区不宜居住。
If electricity can be maintained, living in chronically heat-stressed conditions may be possible but a power outage could be catastrophic.
如果能维持电力供应,长期生活在高热状况下是可能的,但停电可能造成灾难性后果。
In a recent paper published in Nature Climate Change, Dr Matthews and his team looked at the probability of a "grey swan" event in the case of extreme heat coinciding with massive blackouts.
在最近发表在《自然气候变化》杂志上的一篇文章中,马修斯博士和他的团队研究了极端高温和大范围停电同时发生的“灰天鹅”事件的可能性。
Mega blackouts sometimes follow powerful tropical cyclones. Researchers found that dangerously hot temperatures during a period with no electricity could have catastrophic consequences.
强热带气旋过后,有时会出现大范围停电。研究人员发现,在停电时,危险的高温会带来灾难性的后果。
"We looked at tropical cyclones, which have already caused the biggest blackouts on Earth, with the months-long power failure in Puerto Rico after Hurricane Maria among the most serious," Dr Matthews wrote.
