Studija koja se bavi istraživanjem uzroka smrtnosti prilikom pojava talasa ekstremne toplote i hladnoće
RESULTS:
„In UK regions, cold-related mortality currently accounts for more than one order of magnitude more deaths than heat-related mortality (around 61 and 3 deaths per 100,000 population per year, respectively). In Australian cities, approximately 33 and 2 deaths per 100,000 population are associated every year with cold and heat, respectively. Although cold-related mortality is projected to decrease due to climate change to approximately 42 and 19 deaths per 100,000 population per year in UK regions and Australian cities, heat-related mortality is projected to increase to around 9 and 8 deaths per 100,000 population per year, respectively, by the 2080s, assuming no changes in susceptibility and structure of the population.“
Kada se plotiraju rezultati ove studije, onda to ovako izgleda, zajedno sa projekcijama za 2020., 2050. i 2080. godinu (uz pretpostavku jednakog broja stanovnika):
