A new study debunked theories climate change could be ‘beneficial’ for temperature-related deaths as Europe warms. View on euronews

Dr. Jesse Abrams from the University of Exeter said we are “grossly underestimating risk due to climate change and nature-related crises” in an interview.

A new study finds that extreme temperatures — mostly heat — are projected to kill as many as 2.3 million people in Europe by the end of the century unless countries get better at reducing carbon pollution and adapting to hotter conditions.

Researchers predict that climate change will likely cause a sharp rise in heat-related mortality throughout Europe by the end of this century.

New research shows more people will die from overheating in the coming years than the fall in deaths from extremely cold weather.

The Mediterranean, Central Europe, and the Balkans are identified as the most vulnerable areas to the increase in deaths due to heat.

Deaths from extreme heat to ‘far exceed’ fall in cold weather deaths across the continent by the end of the century, researchers say.
