📈Climate change-driven summer heat led to an additional 16,500 deaths in 854 European cities, a new study led by the Grantham Institute and the @lshtm.bsky.social estimates 🧵

Watch Dr @clairbarnes.bsky.social from @ic-cep.bsky.social & @gkonstantinoudis.bsky.social explain the findings.

#EHMLab is hiring a Research Fellow in Biostatistics. Work with massive UK cohorts like UKBiobank & OpenSAFELY to develop new methods for environmental health & climate change. Unique opportunity to collaborate with leading networks.

Current heatwave ‘likely to kill almost 600 people in England and Wales’ Surge in deaths would not be occurring without human-caused global heating, scientists say as analysis published

UK heatwave ‘likely to kill almost 600 people in England & Wales'

In @theguardian.com @gasparrini.bsky.social‬ & Malcolm Mistry discuss rapid analysis of UK #heatwave & how even a rise of a few degrees, due to #ClimateChange, can be dangerous.

New analysis by EHM-Lab @ LSHTM on climate change health projections in Europe. Key msg: 1) Rise in heat deaths will largely exceed reduction for cold; 2) adaptation alone will not be enough to reverse the trend. Read: www.nature.com/articles/s41...
