Climate Central: It's not just the heat, it's the humidity that gets you. That's the conclusion of a new study that finds climate change has reduced humanity's ability to work by making the planet hotter and muggier. That one-two punch has already cut the world's working capacity by 10 percent since humans began burning large amounts of oil, gas, coal and other fossil fuels at the start of the Industrial Revolution, found the analysis, which was published Sunday in the journal Nature Climate Change.
