Scientists warn super El Nino could cause 450,000 deaths: Should we worry?
CIL’s Adaptation Inventory recommends implementing a number of measures to help vulnerable populations cope with extreme heat, including issuing heat warnings, increasing the number of staff at medical facilities during the hottest periods, establishing cooling centres where people can shelter and implementing protections for outdoor workers.
No worries on the Heat Stress Deaths. Drop in the bucket. 🙄
Food will be a bigger problem. Either way, we won't know until we get a Global Census after 2030.
4 more years, it should be pretty significant. Will we lose a Billion? What's the over-under?
RE
Super El Niño to Cause 451,000 Heat Deaths
A powerful El Niño is expected to trigger over 450,000 excess deaths from extreme heat within six months, with Nigeria, Indonesia, Sudan, India, and Brazil most affected. Scientists say this mirrors projected climate change impacts decades ahead, threatening health, food, water, and energy systems. Immediate action through cooling centers, warnings, and aid can save lives, but long-term investment is essential as extreme heat becomes routine.
