This year’s powerful El Niño and the record global heat it’s driving, along with severe droughts, wildfires and shrinking water supplies, could lead to nearly half a million more deaths worldwide by the end of February, according to a new report. nbcnews.com/weather/heat/el-…

#IGR: Super El Niño Could Bring 450,000 Additional Heat Deaths In Next Six Months
A powerful El Niño is pushing temperatures to unprecedented levels, with climate scientists warning of a major human toll in the months ahead.
More than 450,000 additional heat-related deaths are projected between September 2026 and February 2027, with tropical regions expected to bear much of the impact. Swipe to know more.

A report by @impact_lab shows that this year's Super El Niño could lead to as many as 451,000 excess deaths worldwide.
Can Southern Africa mobilise the financing and regional coordination necessary to address the potential catastrophe?

El Niño is turning this summer's already-record heat up a notch — and within decades, these extraordinary temperatures will simply be ordinary.
On Sept 23 at #ClimateWeekNYC, @impact_lab and @C2ES discuss what can still be done.

Climate change is making parts of West Africa & the Sahel so hot that even the mosquitoes will have trouble surviving, while in East and southern Africa rising temps will make conditions newly suitable for mosquitoes, increasing malaria risks: bit.ly/4x2CaqK

By 2050, wealthier regions will respond to intensifying heat waves by running more air conditioning, but ~377K people per yr will die in countries trapped by heat with little to no access to cooling.

Climate change could lead to as much as a 20% increase in malaria in some parts of Africa, a new @Nature study shows, while helping to eliminate it in some of today’s hotspots as it becomes so hot that even mosquitoes struggle to survive.
