Heat may kill more people than major diseases by 2100, says study

The scientific consensus is that global warming must be limited to 1.5 degrees Celcius by 2099 to avoid the worst predictions

In a warmer world caused by climate change, the possibility of your dying from excessive heat will depend on which country you live in and whether you have the money to keep heat at bay with air conditioning and heat-resilient infrastructure, says a new global study linking temperature, income and mortality.

Poor countries that are closer to the equator will see more deaths from rising temperatures compared to richer countries that may also be experiencing similar temperatures by the end of this century, since the latter will have more money to spend on climate adaptation--such as air conditioning and
