As the COP 16 climate conference begins in Colombia, media reports are highlighting the impact of rising temperatures on events like the New York City Marathon. A study in The Lancet claims a 167% increase in heat-related deaths since the 1990s. The hosts criticize these reports as "nonsense," arguing that the ideal running temperature remains consistent and that the data is being framed to support a specific agenda.
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.
