Rising heat kills one person a minute worldwide, major report reveals
The world’s largest analysis of climate crisis’s health impact has revealed that rising global heat is causing one death per minute worldwide. This significant health impact is attributed to humanity’s reliance on fossil fuels, which leads to toxic air pollution, wildfires, and the proliferation of diseases like dengue fever. Despite these severe consequences, global efforts to address climate change remain inadequate, resulting in millions of deaths each year. The report underscores the urgent need to transition away from fossil fuels to prevent further loss of life.
