An NBC meteorologist suggested Sunday that the United Nations’ prediction that extreme heat could make certain US areas in the south unlivable for humans in the future is “probably closer than you might think.”

During a discussion about the extreme heat waves expected to impact parts of the US this summer, NBC meteorologist Angie Lassman cited a controversial 2022 U.N. climate report claiming that rising temperatures in the US will make parts of Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana and California “less suitable” for human habitation by 2070.
