The search is on for the true mortality cost of carbon.
dioxide emitted will cause one heat-related death later this century. He called this number the “mortality cost of carbon.”because of extreme temperature and weather events, and we can expect this to become more common as the planet continues to heat up. If governments want to put in place policies to prevent these deaths, they need a way of accurately measuring the deaths and ill health linked to warming.
But let’s not get ahead of ourselves. There are a number of reasons why the net number of temperature-related deaths appeared to decline over this period, says Myer Glickman, head of the epidemiological, climate and global health team at the ONS. For a start, statisticians took a relatively narrow definition of climate-related deaths.
The lower rate of deaths might also be a sign that our attempts to fight back against cold weather are working. Widespread flu vaccinations, support for people toand increases in home insulation mean that the coldest days didn’t hit as hard as they might have without these mitigations in place, Glickman says. And warmer homes might be a good thing now, but as summers in the UK get hotter and air conditioning remains rare, it may start to become a problem.
