Heatwave-related mortality
upin silico1
Climate change increases heatwave-related mortality in silico (20.2-fold surge (from 2,782 to 56,259)).
“In stark contrast, the "worst-case" anthropogenic scenario (SSP5-8.5) shows dramatic escalation, with counts surging from 5 (34) to 53 (627), coupled with an 20.2-fold mortality surge from 2,782 (32.02%) to 56,259 (91.94%).”
