Climate Change to Reduce Human Life by Six Months, Scientists Warn

Scientists from the United States and Bangladesh have concluded, after analyzing data from inhabitants of 191 countries collected from the 1940s to the 2020s, that climate change will shorten human life by half a year. It has been found that a global temperature increase of just 1 °C is associated with a reduction in human life by 5-6 months. Women and residents of developing countries are at higher risk, with this figure reaching 10 months. The causes include natural disasters, poor healthcare, susceptibility to respiratory and mental illnesses.
