Scientists warn of emerging heatwaves that would exceed the world's highest death rate

The facts about the continuous rise in temperature are known to almost everyone. But, scientists are now afraid that if global temperature remains uncontrolled, such extreme conditions could trigger a fatal heat, which will result in the highest overall mortality rates.

In a new study, published Tuesday in the journal PLOS Medicine, researchers said that the frequency of deadly heat waves and excessive deaths would increase in the next decade. They also mentioned that such a devastating situation could be observed in almost every region of the world if all countries continue to release the same amount of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.

The researchers also claimed that even though countries were reducing their carbon footprint As stated in the 2015 Paris climate agreement, hence the United States has already submitted its withdrawal to the world. last year, the heat-related death rate will continue to rise.

For this study, the authors created a model they compared these data with measurable data since 1971.

In this research, the study authors defined heat waves as a period of two or more consecutive days where average daily temperatures exceeded the top five per cent of daily temperatures in that area throughout the year.

With respect to extreme conditions, when greenhouse gas release and population density were highest and community preparedness and adaptation was low, the intolerable heat would make five times more deaths in the United States and Australia. According to the new model, the result would be more devastating, particularly in Colombia, the Philippines and Brazil, and the exceptions would be places like Japan and Moldova, where population density is expected to decline.

stated that the UK would also witness the double number of heat-related deaths despite increased adaptation that includes strategies to adapt to warmer global temperatures, such as ecologically effective urban planning, increased education and rigorous public policy.

published in the Nature article that showed the frequency of heat waves and the number of affected countries would increase depending on the current climate situation and he added that by 2100, three humans on four will have experienced at least 20 days in a heat wave

A study from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has claimed that the regions of the West, Midwest The Great Lakes region will experience a significant increase in heat waves in the middle of the 2020s.
