More than one-third of the world’s heat deaths each year are due directly to global warming, according to the latest study to calculate the human cost of climate change.
But scientists say that’s only a sliver of climate’s overall toll even more people die from other extreme weather amplified by global warming such as storms, flooding and drought and the heat death numbers will grow exponentially with rising temperatures.
Dozens of researchers who looked at heat deaths in 732 cities around the globe from 1991 to 2018 calculated that 37% were caused by higher temperatures from human-caused warming, according to a study Monday in the journal Nature Climate Change.

Health Editor’s Note: Speculations, some wild, fanciful, and others realistic and scientifically based, have been in news reports for months and months as we have experienced hundreds of thousands of deaths due to COVID-19. There has been recent increased reporting on attempts of find the true source of COVID-19. While I suppose it would be of some importance to find out where this virus originated and thus how it could have been prevented, or somehow holding those who perhaps produced it intentionally accountable we are still dealing with a world-wide pandemic. Clearly people are still dying from COVID-19. Vaccinations are the only way out of this morass so do not let the renewed interest in the origins of COVID take away from the march to vaccinate the world and get ahead of this virus. The longer the virus is allowed to spread, the more chances it will mutate and create more variants to muddy the COVID-19 waters…..Carol
Researchers studying the relationship between aging and the ability to cope with stress found that the limits of a human lifespan lie anywhere from 120 to 150.
Based on data collected from an iPhone app and medical records from volunteers in both the United States and United Kingdom, the study’s authors measured subjects’ resilience to stressors. With age, the researchers found a decline in the subjects ability to recover.
“As we age, more and more time is required to recover after a perturbation, and on average we spend less and less time close to the optimal physiological state,” study author Timothy V. Pyrkov said in a press release.
