Scientists have predicted increased mortality in the summer due to abnormal heat

Scientists from University College London have presented the results of a study dedicated to increasing

mortality due to rising air temperatures on Earth.Discuss

It is noted that experts have analyzed the weather in England and Wales in recent years. After that, forecasts of climate change for 100 years were compared.

It turned out that with an increase in the average annualtemperature by 3 degrees Celsius on Earth, mortality will increase by 75%, or 1.5 times. According to researchers, such phenomena associated with global warming, such as heat and drought, will cause such a high mortality rate.

Moreover, according to their predictions,climate change will increase the risks of chronic lung and cardiovascular diseases. A rise in temperature by 6 degrees will provoke an increase in mortality by 2.75-3 times.
