Recent studies and reports from various sources, including The Lancet and Reuters, highlight the alarming projections of heat-related deaths due to global warming. The Lancet Countdown on Health and Climate Change warns of dire impacts on global human health if significant measures are not taken to reverse the tide of fossil fuel burning. A new report finds that heat-related deaths among seniors have increased by 85% since the 1990s, and projections indicate a 370% surge in heat-related deaths by mid-century if significant emissions cuts are not implemented. Scientists emphasize the need to address the risk of continued global warming even after achieving net zero emissions, raising concerns about the persistence of global warming despite efforts to achieve net zero emissions. These findings underscore the urgency of addressing climate change and the need for immediate action to mitigate its impact on human health and the environment.

Much of climate policy is predicated on the idea that once we reduce our emissions to net zero, global warming will stop - but now researchers are saying there is a risk it will still continue. https://t.co/oRXXWtLm0r
