An international team of experts on Wednesday revealed that a skyrocketing fivefold increase in heat-related deaths is looming in the coming decades.
As the planet has been warming more and more, scientific data revealed that last Monday, 3 June, was the hottest day ever recorded on earth. The US National Centers for Environmental Prediction claimed to have recorded the hottest day as global average temperature skyrocketed to an all-time high mark of 17.01C.
One of the biggest threats from climate change is the ‘heat waves’. Each year, thousands of deaths are caused due to high temperatures around the world, many of which go unreported. Recent report shows more than 20,000 died in western Europe in this year’s summer.
