More than 100 million Americans

More than 100 million Americans from Texas up to Wisconsin will live in an extreme heat belt by 2053 where at least one day a year will reach 125F, new study says

• The 'extreme heat belt' will stretch across the Midwest from the Appalachian mountains to the eastern portion of Texas and up to southern Wisconsin
• Stretches of the Atlantic coast from Georgia to Delaware will be similarly effected, as well as swaths of Florida, Southern California, and Arizona
• The study was compiled by the First Street Foundation as part of a series of reports showing how American homes could be effected by climate change
• The report was released the same day a new poll found the number of Americans who were not concerned about climate change has dropped considerably 
• An 'extreme heat belt' will form across the Midwest by 2053, according to a new study, leaving over 100million Americans regularly experiencing days over 125F.

  The intense heat belt will cover a stretch of country between the Appalachian mountains in western Kentucky and Tennessee to the eastern portions of Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, and Nebraska, and consume nearly all of Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Missouri, Arkansas, Louisiana, and Mississippi.

  Stretches of the Atlantic coast from Georgia to as far north as Delaware will be similarly effected, as well as swaths of Florida, Southern California, and Arizona.

• The study was released by the New York City based First Street Foundation as a part of an ongoing series of reports intended to show Americans how their homes could be effected by climate change. Previously the group released studies showing expected flooding and fire damage risks.

  The report comes after a crushing heatwave this year killed at least 19 people, according to Fox News, and left the nation sweltering throughout July.

  The tail end of a summer has also been marked by a string of unprecedented fires and flooding that have killed scores more across the country.
