The number of deaths due to hot weather in Europe increased sharply

In the past three decades, the number of deaths due to abnormal heat in Europe has doubled compared to the early 19th century, which is the result of research published by a group of Swedish scientists in the Journal of Change Natural climate (Nature Climate Change).

Also according to this research group, all climate changes are likely to lead to human losses.

According to Evgeny Tishkovts, Phobos Weather Center's leading expert, this trend is related to global climate change.

In the past three decades, climate experts have observed that heat has been the biggest increase since 1,300 years ago. Air temperature increased by nearly 1 degree Celsius, ocean temperature increased by 0.7 degrees C. Along with other unusual natural phenomena such as sea level rise of 22cm, permissible permafrost area North is about 1.5 km per year and has fallen three times in the past 50 years.

Super weeks of heatwave in the summer and cold in winter have dragged tens of thousands of deaths from cardiovascular diseases and many other diseases. The heat in Europe in the summer of 2003 claimed the lives of more than 70,000 people.

In 2010, there were 55,000 people in Russia who died due to heat and drought. This summer, 60,000 Japanese people were hospitalized because of the hot sun and many people did not survive.

The expert team predicted that the number of deaths due to weather abnormalities will increase everywhere in the world, but especially in Southeast Asia, Western and Central Europe, the East of South America and South Australia, as well as European territories of Russia.
