Cold weather linked to 40,000 extra heart deaths each year in the U.S. #UnitedStates

Cold weather linked to 40,000 extra heart deaths each year in the U.S.
When temperatures plunge, the risk to your heart rises dramatically. A large U.S. study shows cold weather is linked to far more cardiovascular deaths than heat, accounting for tens of thousands of extra deaths each year. Scientists found the safest temperature sits around 74°F, with danger increasing as conditions get colder—or hotter. As more people live with chronic illnesses, the threat from extreme cold may only intensify.

Limiting global warming can reduce US wildfire smoke-related deaths by thousands annually
Using future climate scenarios based on wildfire damages in North America, scientists estimate that up to 10,000 or more lives may be saved annually in the United States if society is able to mitigate climate change by keeping the global mean surface temperature (GMST) at 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-Industrial age (1850-1900) levels. Currently, the GMST is at 1.3 to 1.4 degrees C but is projected to reach 3 degrees C with the current direction of climate change. The findings are detailed in a…
