Climate Change: Average temperature will increase from 20.4 °C to 39.7, and will heat up more at night

Rapidly increasing heat will cause six times more deaths by the end of this century. The high temperature during the night will also disturb the sleep and physical functions of the people. Not only will less sleep harm the immune system, but it will also increase people's risk of heart disease, severe insomnia, inflammation, and mental illnesses. This information related to these side effects due to climate change in the future has come to the fore in the latest research published in the Lancet Planetary Health Journal.

The researchers made this estimate of future deaths based on the number of people killed by increased heat from 1980 to 2015 in 28 cities in China, South Korea, and Japan. According to researchers from the University of North Carolina in the US, by the year 2090, the average night temperature in 28 cities in East Asian countries will increase from 20.4 °C to 39.7 °C.

Hot nights were being ignored

According to research co-author Yuqiang Zhang, the increase in night temperature in the changing climate was ignored until now, but the research has found that in the last decade of this century, the average temperature change is 60 percent compared to the current change. will speed up.

Research suggests two possible scenarios

Based on data from the past years and the measures taken by the governments of these countries to curb carbon emissions, models of climate change have been given and possible scenarios, which include six times the deaths due to heat from 2016 to 2100.

the only option

Researchers say that climate change prevention strategies and strong global partnerships are the only options to avoid the ill effects of heat in the future.
