Are we all going to die of hot?

A new report predicts that 75% of the planet's inhabitants will die of hot by 2100, according to the magazine "Nature".
In this period of intense heat on the Hexagon, an alarming new study adds a stone to the building of climate advocates. According to the Nature magazine that was relayed in National Geographic this week, three quarters of the world's inhabitants are likely to die of hot by the end of the century. At issue: greenhouse gas emissions are constantly increasing.

"Deadly heat waves are a very common phenomenon. The fact that our society is not more worried about the dangers this entails escapes me, "says Camilo Mora, a professor at the University of Hawaii in Manoa and lead author of the study. "The heat wave that hit Europe in 2003 caused the death of around 70,000 people, more than 20 times the number killed in the 9/11 attacks. "

Thousands of victims in India
The heat is killing today in more than 60 regions of the globe. In recent years, thousands of people have been victims in India . The number of heat waves with more than 100 deaths has been multiplied in this country by 2.5 in 50 years. However, the temperature only increased by 0.5 degrees over the period. However, the scientists' forecasts show an average temperature increase of 5 degrees by 2100 if nothing changes.

In the last two weeks, dozens of people have succumbed to the current heat wave in India and Pakistan , with temperatures reaching a record high of 53.5 ° C. In the United States , other heat-related deaths have also been reported this summer. The heat wave that has been raging for a week in eastern Canada has left at least 54 people dead in Quebec.
