Global warming responsible for one in three heat-related deaths, says study

Image: Press Association Image: Press Association A NEW STUDY indicates that between 1991 and 2018, more than a third of all deaths in which heat played a role were attributable to human-induced global warming.

Researchers from the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine and the University of Bern within the Multi-Country Multi-City Collaborative Research Network also estimate the number of deaths from human-induced climate change that occurred in specific cities. They add that the research is also an argument for the implementation of interventions to protect populations from the adverse consequences of heat exposure.

Researchers examined past weather conditions simulated under scenarios with and without anthropogenic emissions, which are emissions which are caused by human activity. The study, published in Nature Climate Change, found that while, on average, more than one third of heat-related deaths are due to human-induced climate change, the impact varies substantially across regions.

Covid gives you a temperature. Shouldn’t these be recorded as Covid deaths? That is literally the criterium that is being applied.
