Extreme Heat Makes People More Negative

▪️A large-scale global study shows that extreme heat affects not just our bodies, but also our emotions. Researchers analyzed over a billion social media posts and found that when temperatures exceeded 95°F (35°C), expressed sentiments became more negative, particularly in lower-income countries where effects were three times stronger.

The findings highlight how rising global temperatures shape daily emotional experiences worldwide. Looking ahead, climate models suggest that by 2100, extreme heat alone could worsen global emotional well-being by 2.3%.
