Brace yourselves, folks! A new study is turning up the heat on climate concerns in the U.S. 🌡️🔥
Published this Friday on the Journal of the American Medical Association website, the study reveals a chilling (or should we say, warming?) projection: deaths related to extreme temperatures are set to dramatically increase by the mid-21st century.
Currently, about 8,250 deaths per year are associated with extreme heat and cold across the United States. But as global temperatures rise, specific populations are expected to feel the burn more than others.
While the sun might be great for beach selfies and Vitamin D, this isn't a forecast we can just swipe away. It's a wake-up call for everyone to pay attention to our changing climate and its impact on our communities.
Time to crank up the conversations on climate action and keep our cool—literally and figuratively. 🌍💬
