37% percent of the world’s heat deaths each year are due directly to global warming, a new study finds.
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.
That amounts to about 9,700 people a year from just those cities, but it is much more worldwide, the study's lead author said. About 35 percent of heat deaths in the United States can be blamed on climate change, the study found. That’s a total of more than 1,100 deaths a year in about 200 U.S. cities, topped by 141 in New York. Honolulu had the highest portion of heat deaths attributable to climate change, 82 percent.
