The Lancet, Heat-Related Death Projections

A report published in The Lancet medical journal warns that heat-related deaths could increase nearly five-fold by mid-century if global temperatures continue to rise. The study, involving over 100 researchers, claims 2023 saw the highest global temperatures in 100,000 years. Proposed solutions include local infrastructure changes like green roofs and climatic shelters, alongside a drastic reduction in CO2 emissions, which currently stand at 1,337 tons per second.
